Bottled Reflections WIP

This is the project that Jamie started...I found them fascinating.

I first straightened them out and got the perspective in paint shop pro, then drew them out using a grid. Size is 6"h x 15"w on Stonehenge paper.

I chose the colors because they were either almost compliments...the two end bottles on our left, a preyed value study, the two middle bottles and the one on the far right, or that was the color that was underneath the bottle...the round one.

When doing a grisaille under painting I don't like to do true compliments, except in rare cases...I prefer to find a grayed version of the color

I found the blue bottle the easiest and fastest to do...I had the most trouble with the green one.
