Hey all!

So, I'm mid-way through painting this lovely boy https://i.pinimg.com/originals/71/9c/07/719c072a49f86c76663e72974789a8fb.jpg
and I've just realized - I have no clue how to paint a wine bottle - anyone know any decent tutorials? I'm gunning for a green bottle, but with red wine in the bottom, half-drunk so it's like he's been swigging it mid-battle.
Cheers very much for stopping by!!!

Take care!

Red plus green should end up at black. Maybe try the light bottle.green at the top and around the base of the bottle only where the glass is thicker, with a band of super deep.red/black where you want the liquid to go?

Haha, yeah, that's mostly the plan tbh - I've got a decent olive green that I think will work okay for the bottle, but the wine bit is kind of concerning - thinking of maybe like a rich ruddy brown, but glazed red, so it winds up near-black, but perhaps a bit redder near the wine's meniscus.

Also, kind of worried about the whole illusion of transparency thing haha, so if anyone has any tips for that, I'd be so grateful to hear them!

Probably gonna try and to like a couple of still life thingies of some wine bottles I have lying around for cooking, to see if I can't get my head around it all a little better

i came across this, https://brushandboltgun.com/2017/05/07/painting-basics-glass-bottles/ . im not sure about the results but the process seems sound.
