Painting With Wine


In two art classes we have had sessions where we painted with wine. That's correct! Wine! In this case it was a nice red zinfandel. Students were provided templates of the bottle and glasses so they did not worry about the accuracy of drawing the bottle and glasses.Then we layered with wine washes. Other colors were then added.

This makes a very attractive painting although I did need to darken via Photoshop since the wine was not vivid enough. It's a fun class to do and it is always well-attended.

By the way, we drank the wine after while critiquing our work. Ink, wine and watercolor.

Great painting and better when you can drink it too.

You can also paint with coffee too - black of course :)

What a fun idea Terry - I'm going to forward this along to our cultural centre. The "Art & Wine" events are always popular, but I think I'd enjoy this even more. I especially like the idea of handing out templates.
