Have been in a bit of a creative slump
for the last month, but another
cocktail glass did call out to me. 
Unlike "Brad's Martini" where I was trying to
figure out the clear glass, clear liquid thing.  5 O'Clock
was definitely a lot more fun to paint.
However, like "Brad's Martini"
I want to reach out and take a sip 
whenever I look at them. 

As always, thanks for letting me share my art with you.
Cheers!

One of my FAVorite contemporary realism artist is
Jelaine Faunce.
I've been following her work for a couple of years
and absolutely LOVE her paintings of glass.
I had the opportunity to meet Jelaine last summer, while
talking with her, I asked if she would do a
tutorial on how she paints her glass paintings.
After a LOT of patience she finally did one.
As you can probably guess, Jelaine's technique and mine are
at 2 ends of the spectrum.
She paints with ultra fine brushes and I paint
with a palette knife.
At first I tried my hardest to use a paint brush, but
to keep my sanity after 2 days I
turned to my beloved palette knife to finish the tutorial.
Definitely not the ultra smooth realism
that Jelaine gets but for the first try not to bad.
