This was my first time painting water drops, it's something I've been wanting to do. It was a good learning experience in terms of how much time it takes to paint them precisely. These drops took me about 2 days lol. I laid down a couch of medium and sort of glazed the drops in; the highlights are opaque of course. As always, I paint everything there actual size, 1:1. The bottle cap is only 1" in diameter so it's quite small. I chose Coke because of it's timeless tradition. I think Andy Warhol said it best...
"What’s great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca Cola, and you know that the President drinks Coca Cola, Liz Taylor drinks Coca Cola, and just think, you can drink Coca Cola, too. A coke is a coke and no amount of money can get you a better coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the cokes are the same and all the cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it."
