Yellow outline
Posted: October 27, 2021 Filed under: Uncategorized 19 CommentsLast evening on a Zoom with friends, I drew the bottles on my windowsill. I’ve drawn these bottles before, but never with a brush, and never at the end of the day when it’s almost dark outside. I love the bottle shapes — which is why they ended up on that shelf in the first place — and they are even more interesting because there’s a variety of transparent and opaque surfaces, as well as a bit of colour and a few labels. This was mostly finished in the 45 minute Zoom, but I added a bit of calligraphy today when everything else was dry. Sketched in my Etchr Perfect Sketchbook, which is perfect for this type of thing.
Wow , is that all alcohol?

What are you implying?? Purely coincidence that good shapes come from gin and tequila and wine bottles : )
Interesting approach.
I have a question. What is the website where you can see views from windows-in many countries? I thought I had bookmarked it but now I cannot find it. Thanks
HI Judy. That site is called Window Swap.
I had to laugh about the first comment…about alcohol bottles. I have a beautiful bottle on my kitchen windowsill that is very alcoholic–and I love it! I especially like the green bottle on the left. Cheers to your creativity in sketching them! 🥂
I had to laugh too. That is from my friend Wayne. The green bottle on the left is a great shape. That’s Greek Retsina. It’s both a good shape and good wine.
Thanks, Shari. I’m gonna be on the lookout out for that wine…I mean that bottle. 😉
gorgeous , gorge for short
Thanks so much Marie!!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️Love the gin bottles! Hendrix! Right? That yellow background makes the bottles glow! Very inviting!!
Yes, Hendricks! If you recognize the bottle you must like gin, Pam. All the gin drinkers know it.
Wonderful character, colours and transparency.
Talking while painting… that is a skill! Mind you, you do practice that a lot, teaching I mean. 🙂
Actually, talking while painting is good. You forget what you are doing and sometimes the result is better. Of course it can also be worse…
The next post has to be about a yellow submarine now! This set looks terrific!

I think that can be arranged. Actually I just walked by a great yellow truck that I wanted to sketch!
Wonderful Shari – I love the yellow outline! Direct-to-paint again :).
So funny about the gin – and there was I recognizing the Patron tequila……..Sante!
Love the yellow outline. I’m going to give it a try. Thanks
I love this one as well, and I’m really practicing on painting glass in different media. Maybe this could be another workshop?? You have so many great workshops, I need to make priorities first!
Your artistry is inspiring as ever. Thank for sharing. ✨
