@Acidyo and I went to a restaurant the other day and I don't know why, but it was my first time to see an Appletini in the menu. XD When it came, he was like "why u taking pics of that too much" and I'm like "cos I'm gonna paint it" lol.
I want to do a color study to refresh and explore some color combinations for my art. I like mainly pinks and greens, but there is something missing still, which is why I'm doing this exercise (aside from the fact that colors are a forever study for me).
I taped the canvas pad on the sketchboard [that I finally have] so it wouldn't warp. I painted the whole canvas with pink just so I don't have to paint over white and I don't know why I've never done that before but it was so much better. :P
I started painting the greens and sort of just built the layers up til I see an opaque color.
I added some teal in the liquid just to have that artsy style and not realistic. XD I find these colors together to be pleasing in the eyes.
I thought of desaturated blue for the glass even though I really liked the purple one already. I added these anyway just to have a nice combo with the purples later. I really like painting technique where I just put the colors on top or beside each other which is why I think acrylic is better suited for my painting than oils.
I added the dark purple as the outline although quite frankly they look a bit more blue than purple. This was taken the next day with the sunlight so the colors are slightly different.
I didn't like the cherry to look quite realistic so I added some oranges to it. I finished it with some random lines in the background. :D
I like the colors in this though ofc next time I will try to add more colors. :D
It is beautifully drawn,...I like painting too....but my school and final exams did not allowing me to do much of this.....taping is good idea to avoid splashing of colors..the color choice is good....pink and green 💚
Thank you! Taping to make the borders clean is also a good idea although I prefer mine to have artistic edges🤣 too perfect kinda makes me feel weird
Maybe you can find time soon, it is also a good way to destress after exams :D
Cute! Now I'm curious abt the photos you took. haha.
Lol they were just different angles of this so I can choose later
You have been manual curated and upvoted by @ecency
Did you know that @stresskiller is also a witness now ?
??
what could I possibly have meant with the giant image in your comment
that could have gone bothe ways either refering to curation or the witness :)
both would've taken way less time to verify than to ask me what i meant :P
vote shows ... here
Appletini, i reckon i heard of it before... We need the photo to compare though!
Nothing special there 🤣 but the stem of the glass was weirdly curvy lol
Lol that curve is weird indeed, it's say it is a bugged glass 😂
Funnily, these lovely colours reminded me of my favourite sweets when I was a kid....
I'm guessing, if I chewed a couple of packets of these, then spit them out on a canvas, with a little work I could almost recreate your picture!
Anyway. I'm so happy to see you doing some proper painting with paint and paper. This picture is gorgeous, as always. I wish the artists on Hive would put some of their 'real' works up for sale so other people could buy them. NFTs are soooooooo last year, real art in a blockchain art shop is the way to go!
Best wishes to you both :-)
