“Art is indeed not the bread but the wine of life” Jean Paul
If was not a watercolor painter I would probably be a sommelier: the world of wine is fascinating to me, it’s also an endless source of inspiration for any visual artist.
We can find more than 10000 varieties of wine grapes existing worldwide (different colors, textures, and shapes), we can see a great still life subject just looking at a glass of wine, the vineyards leaves are amazing, they can be green or red, orange and yellow during the fall months. There are wineries on all continents, in different countries and landscapes. What else? We can find roses planted in each vineyard row too, it’s really a treat for any artist.
So this workshop is focused on my love for wine: I will mix still life, flowers, grape clusters, and landscapes in the same workshop.
My first demo will be a composition of grape clusters and leaves, Pinot Noir, or a similar dark red grape. Grapes are an excellent subject to study depth, hard/soft edges, and composition: the cluster needs to look like a three-dimensional shape.
The second demo will be about a transparent glass of wine and other elements, a perfect subject to study glass reflections and the third demo will be about landscape: I will demonstrate a vineyard so we can talk about how to enhance depth and mood, best mixing alternatives for green/red leaves, tips for sky painting, composition and much more.
This workshop is a two days format: the second day will be a mentoring session. You can send one painting to my email from January 13 to 17 (by morning). I will clear your questions and provide some feedback about your paintings on January 17 (second session).
I will also demonstrate one more painting in the second session: a small flower demo. As I mentioned many times before, flowers are the foundation of my work: the last demo (4) will be about flowers and wine!
So…hold your glass of wine, open your palette and let’s explore together the vineyards!
