A small still life continuing my series (http://revanspaintings.blogspot.com/search/label/still%20life), with the light source coming from back right. I wanted to get some of those refelctions and shadows
I was aiming to get the right balance between suggestion and details

i like the textures in the glass
and the reflection is very convincing
Hey Ryan, this is a nice piece and I also like paintings with whisky in them, the color seems to be a near compliment to the color of true north light.
Rob- Yeah it's an especially fine Glenmorangie (quinta ruban- well worth trying if you can get it!
Thanks for commenting on the glass and reflections- they were tricky to do on a small canvas and I didn't want to use too small a brush
Cheers
Ryan
Dan- You're right about the colour of whisky deep fire colours. I used raw sienna and cadmium orange on this

Hey Ron
Thanks for the kind words and dropping by. I've been enjoying doing the small still life series.
The winter light here as always is not the best for painting- especially landscapes.
THe still lifes and life classes have been really good to keep me going. I've got a private view on Thursday at Leith School of Art, with all the students work being displayed so that will be great
Ryan
Hey Ryan, just stopping by to wish ya Happy Holidays!
