Would like to paint wine glass and grapes with watercolor, any tips?
I have been painting with watercolors for a few years now, still learning, I have problems with shading, shadows and such, have drawn two wine glasses, wine bottle and a platter of grapes. Anxious to get started but same time leary of ruining it. Any comments??
Paint what you see, not what you think you see. See the objects as an abstract series of shapes and colours. Spend more time looking than painting.
I'm more of an oils man myself, but i think with watercolour you paint light to dark using layers,

Makeup Secrets for Women with Glasses
There are special techniques that can be used to apply make-up for those who wear glasses. Certain considerations need to be made to account for how the lenses make your eyes appear, and how the lighting plays through the glasses. For example, lenses for near-sighted wearers make the eyes appear smaller to others, while far-sighted lenses make the eyes appear larger.
Frames can cast shadows around the eyes which can be exacerbated by dark circles under the eyes. Use a salmon-tinted base to brighten the blue area directly beneath the eyes.
Another problem that glasses can cause to the makeup is when the nose brace of the glasses smears, smudges, or removes the makeup on the nose. Mineral foundation can help prevent the smudging.
Eyeliner should emphasize your lower lid, not your upper lid, as the angle of light coming through the lenses will balance this out when you are actually wearing the glasses.
You will want to minimize the amount of mascara on your lashes, since the glasses can rub the mascara off, or make it appear uneven. Like with the eyeliner, be sure to emphasize more on your lower lashes than your upper.
When you apply blush to your cheeks, be sure to suck in your cheeks so that you create indentations on your face. Apply the blush to the sunken areas of your cheeks, which will sculpt your face in a way that emphasizes your natural cheekbones. Having them clearly defined can help prevent the glasses from becoming the dominant feature of your face.
When you are finished applying all of your makeup, be sure to re-check in various lighting settings from your makeup mirror. And, of course, be sure to check with your glasses on.
Be sure your makeup vanity table provides ample lighting, and if need be, magnification, since you will be applying your makeup without your glasses on.
