This is the winner of the Company Implementation ED Award 2008...

I love the way they used the product they were designing for, in this case wine, to create the corporate identity of VINSEUM (a wine museum in Cataluña). First, they designed the corporate font using some letter templates and pouring wine. And then they designed brochures, the bottle label, signs...

It´s brilliant, simple, and different. Bravo for the designers from Estudio Diego Feijóo!!!

I really like this. Did they use wine? Or was it a watercolor that was wine colored. Just wondering.

Wine painting, just great. I LOVE to color sketches with anything that's near my paper.

but usually, red wine turns quickly to grey, maybe my paper chimical's reaction?

Pam, they appear to be using wine (look at then first photo). Then, probably some photoshop too.

Pfelelep, it depends on the paper you´re using, although usually wine, coffee, tea and others lose their original colour quiquer than watercolour. It´s still interesting, though... I´m thinking that I´ll try some of these techniques this weekend... haven´t done that in a long time...

Have you ever tried beetroot? The colour is probably more intense than the wine one...

I've heard of different artists who place different vegetables on wet watercolor paper so that the paper absorbs the natural colors of the veggies. Beetroot would be a good one for this. Then they paint on it, leaving the veggie colors and trying to match them with paint. Have also heard of artists placing things that rust onto wet paper to get the natural rust color. I have no idea how long they left these things on the paper, and I assume if it was longer than a day, they had to keep wetting the paper. It would be a fun experiment.

I wonder if spraying a clear fixative on the natural colors would keep it from fading. But then I also wonder if you can paint over the fixative. These fixatives are usually used for charcoal and pastel work. There is a permanent fixative and a workable fixative but I have no idea if they should be used with watercolor or if it would work.

I´ve used the workable fixative with watercolour, working with pencil, acrilic or charcoal on top... I´m not sure you can use watercolours on top...

There was an artist (can´t remember his name)who used snowballs with some kind of dye, put them on top of a huge piece of paper, and let them melt.. the result was wonderful!!!! Just thinking... it was Andy Goldsworthy... he did something with snowballs and seal blood, and other materials.

Have you ever sprinkled salt onto wet watercolor? Or placed crinkled up plastic wrap on it, then lift off the wrap when the paint is dry? Both give a very interesting effect after the paint has dried. You never know what you're going to get but it's always fun to find things in the designs that are made, then add other mediums to embellish on what you have found.

Good ideas!!! Now I just want to go home and start experimenting!!!! I wish I had more time to do everything I want to do...

This chat was very inspiring... thanks, Pam!
