I don't drink a lot of soft drinks (soda here in WI) but my second favorite, after Sprecher Root Beer, is Sprite. I like it better than 7-Up, more tangy. The WCW challenge this week was to paint champagne glasses, I chose to paint a glass of Sprite.
I used one of my vintage glasses for a model. To carry out the vintage theme, I also added the same stars on the glass to the wall, since stars like this are definitely mid century. I drew the ice cubes with my pencil and added some shading with watercolor. Used the gel pen to add the stars and some dots on the table. I really thought about adding a bottle of Sprite but my glass was too big. In a stretch, this Happy Housie entry of a soda bottle Valentine made me think I could add this to the IC today. I'll be back with a more legitimate card. This was challenging but I enjoyed it. This is the second attempt, I did one with the glass tilting like the champagne glass and splashing the soda but I got the perspective all wrong. https://thehappyhousie.porch.com/?s=soda+bottles

I really like your glass of Sprite and the ice cubes/shadowing are great. The gold stars made it so fancy and pretty. Thanks for joining us this week at the WCW.

I am so impressed! A very complicated subject. So much perspective going on and you nailed it! You ventured out into a spritzy world and captured the fun of a vintage glass and it's refreshing contents with all those cool stars.
