Doesn’t this make your mouth water?
Flipping through a magazine recently, I saw this frosty glass and thought it would be fun to paint
First a simple pencil sketch and then adding color to the bottom of glass
If you look closely at a glass you will see many different reflections and colors
I used watercolor pencils and added areas of different colors, then blended them with a water brush pen
You can use a regular watercolor brush and water if you prefer. I love the waterbrush pens, so handy with the water inside them, and they are available in a variety of points and sizes
After doing the glass I worked on the garnishes
I used the same technique of coloring, then blending
To finish I added an ink outline with a fine liner pen to make everything pop
Have you tried watercolor pencils? I have some Inktense, but I prefer the General and Faber Castell pencils shown below
Remember to use paper that is for wet and dry media, like this Canson Mixed Media Pad, the paper is treated for wet and dry media, and has a fine texture so it’s good for markers too
