Stylization of a painting by Vincent van Gogh

From childhood we were told that the best present those that are made with your own hands. But for adults they have not lost their relevance. Especially when it comes to a themed gift.
This master class will help you impress a lover of impressionism or simply an art connoisseur. In addition, a bottle of high-quality strong drink will never be superfluous.
For my work I chose Vincent Van Gogh's painting "Starry Night". I started painting a bottle of absinthe, since it was the artist’s favorite drink.
So, we need a bottle, a soft wide brush and a hard thin brush, and the following paints: black, blue, cyan, red, yellow, orange and white (I bought it in a set).

For painting, it is best to use acrylic paints, as they will adhere perfectly to the glass, and additional varnish treatment will not be necessary at all. Do not wet the brush with water, because the thicker the paint, the better. This will give the product a texture.
It's better to get rid of labels. If the bottle has a paper label, it can be easily removed by dipping the bottle in warm water.

If you need to clean your brush from paint, it is better to use alcohol.
Let's start with the darkest element of the picture. For this you will need black, yellow and red paints. First, apply a layer of black, wait about 15-20 minutes.

Then, when the paint has already dried, we make red and yellow strokes in a chaotic order, since we are still working on stylization, not reproduction.

Then carefully apply the blue background. To ensure that the bottle is not transparent, at least two layers of paint will be needed. Apply the first layer with a circular motion of the brush, wait until the paint dries, and apply the second.

When the second blue layer dries, paint the stars with yellow paint. To prevent the stars from turning out green on a blue background, you should add white paint.
Color the bottom of the bottle blue. Next, with a thin brush we draw the outlines of the houses using black paint.
Then we leave blue, yellow and white strokes on the bottle. Remember that before applying each new layer, you need to let the previous one dry. In order to depict the moon, we use orange paint.
When the bottle is completely dry, you can coat it with varnish if you want to achieve a glossy shine.
This is what we should get in the end.

Such a gift is suitable for any holiday. You can not only give a quality drink, but also please a loved one with your attention, reflected in a picture you drew yourself.
You can choose any other drink and any other picture. It all depends on your preferences.
