Cold Wine on a Warm Day

8x6 watercolor and ink (Faber Castell Pitt XS pen) on Stillman & Birn Zeta series sketchbook for mixed media.  When I painted this it was a hot day but the cold chablis looked inviting.  Look closely and you can see reflections at the top of some distant buildings behind the glass.

Wine Window

8x6 watercolor on Fabriano 140 lb cold press paper completed today, of a bottle of Heart of the Desert red wine and a glass half full in a glass block window.  I set this simple still life miniature up in New Mexico to photograph for various painting opportunities.  Afternoon sun was setting at the time.

Cold Wine on a Warm Day

8x6 watercolor and ink (Faber Castell Pitt XS pen) on Stillman & Birn Zeta series sketchbook for mixed media.  Yesterday when I painted this it was not a warm day but the cold chablis looked inviting.  This was done in an hour approx. for another WetCanvas weekend drawing event hosted by Marie in Belgium.  Our challenge was to add light since their country is fairly dark for winter now. Look closely and you can see reflections at the top of buildings behind the glass.  We have only 2 hours to choose a photo out of 16 presented then draw and paint.
