Wine Painted in Oils, Oil Painted in Wine
14 Jun 2021
I painted my wine using oil paints, whilst trying to capture the reflections.
The oil painting shows a grey countertop and a tiled wall. On the countertop there sits a dark green bottle of wine, and a half-full glass.
One of my friends stated that since I had painted my wine in oils, I should paint my oil in wine.
Challenge accepted.
I painted two bottles of oil from my kitchen (olive and rapeseed/canola) using red wine. Sadly not the wine from in the original picture, as there was none left by this point.
The wine painting shows a maroon countertop and a tiled wall. On the countertop there sits a dark maroon bottle of olive oil, and smaller lighter bottle of rapeseed oil.
I picked out highlights in white wax before starting painting (seen as highlights in the resulting picture). I then created the painting by adding layers of wine, and letting each one dry before adding the next layer. My office smelt incredible by the end of the process!
