Distilled Spirits (Facing the Bottle)

This is another set of my matching 2 piece acrylic painted wine bottles. To achieve this look, I first remove the labels and clean the bottles, then I coat the bottles with two coats of white gesso, and then paint on the colors and details on top of that.

This set depicts a couple of tipsy ladies hittin' the ol' bottle again! They seem to have had a wee bit too much to drink, and now they're stuck inside the bottles.

With these painted bottles, I use their cylindrical "3D" shape to my advantage, by making that shape the shapes of their heads, in a whimsical and cartoonish way.

Because the support used here are curved 3D objects, I also paint not just the "front" view, but also the "rear" view of the bottles, so that they can be turned around to display an entirely different view, effectively "doubling" the artwork, so-to-speak. The "rear view" here depicts them with closed eyes as though they are sleeping or possibly passed out from too much booze.

Some of the colors I used are: hot pink, cobalt blue, green, red, white, fleshtone, and black.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Thanks for looking!
