Red Wine on Linen

One of my assignments in one of my courses this summer was to choose a nontraditional medium and/or substrate and create something with it.

I have been wanting to paint with red wine for awhile so now was my opportunity.

I found some linen napkins and a bottle of shiraz and created the above portrait.

Here is what the full napkin looks like:

It is 15×23.5″

The flower was already stitched on the napkin.

I enjoyed doing it so much, I decided to try just a little painting on watercolor paper

Wine Grapes No. 1

There is definitely more control on the paper.
