PAINTING VIDEO DESCRIPTION – This painting tutorial will take you through easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions on how to paint this dramatic still life image of "WHITE WINE AND GRAPES" with acrylic paint. You'll learn simple painting techniques that will help you to develop powerful dimension in a beautiful scene that seems as if it could be plucked from a vineyard in Napa Valley, Bourdeaux, Costa Del Sol, Tuscany, or wherever you can imagine sipping on your glass of Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Riesling, Moscato, or Sauvignon Blanc. The first lesson you’ll learn is how to use simple painting techniques, including, scumbling and dry brush, for blending the out of focus bokeh background for added depth and atmospheric dimension, using natural colors to create a warm summer feel to your canvas. Then, after using a pencil to draw the outline for you wine glass and grapes, you'll paint a simple base coat for your objects. The next art tip you’ll learn is how to create realistic looking dimension with properly placed highlights and shadows on the grapes, vines and leaves, to create contour and form, followed by layering colors to give your grapes texture and body creating a realistic 3-D effect like a photograph. Then you'll learn to create reflections in the glassware with tastefully placed complimentary colors from the surrounding objects to enhance the perspective while also learning how the importance of size-ratio and proportion play a key role in creating the three-dimensional effect of the wine glass and grapes. Painting the shapes of the grapes will be done with a light sketching technique, and then on the beverage glass, you'll learn how to create a translucent affect with strategically placed reflective shapes and lines with complimentary colors to create a shiny gloss illusion. With these simple painting methods, you can paint any color wine or grapes you want, go ahead and use various shades of red to make your wine and grapes a merlot, Pinot Noir, or Rose’.
