I wanted to try painting a crystal bowl with fruit so an exercise so I set up this still life.
I'm not sure why I added the wine bottle and the glass of wine ? Maybe it was to give the subject matter some height as a way to balance the set up? .... Oh,... And it's actually Pepsi Max in the glass.
I learned the hard way when I was painting another still life in oils, when you're using actual wine in a still life setup, you don't keep taking sips from the glass !! The bottle ends up empty and the subject kinda get out of focus !!
I did learn other lessons from this painting, like spending more time on the actual drawing to get the distorted shapes and colours as they appear through the crystal bowl (or any cut glass container). I might try this idea again, spending the extra time on the drawing part.
Anyway, the exercise turned out better than I expected so I put it in a frame that didn't really fit. When I was looking for works to put in the Bright Art Gallery's Autumn Exhibition this year (2023) I decided to get it professionally framed.
This is the result,...
