Bottle Painting
Whether you’re a bourbon buff, whisky connoisseur, or an avid art collector, a bottle full of bourbon with a one-of-a-kind painting is sure to impress!
These beautiful bottles are available for Central Kentucky residents. The bottle must be purchased by the client and dropped off to Emmy (Richmond, Ky). If you are out-of-state but would like a bottle painting, then a painting can be completed on an empty bottle and be shipped to you! Emmy has an array of empty bottles to choose from. Paintings can be completed on many different bottle shapes, but it is recommended that your bottle of choice have a somewhat flat front or back to allow for the best possible painting (wine shaped bottles would not be recommended).
Landscapes, portraits, architecture, houses, and animals are Emmy’s specialties. If you have a photo or concept you are interested in but it does not fit the above options, please send your idea through the contact form.
All paintings are done in a realistic style, unless instructed otherwise. Pricing for bottles vary based on detail, subject matter, and complexity.

FAQ
How long does a bottle take?
A bottle painting, from start to finish, takes roughly a week to two weeks to complete.
How soon do you need the bottle?
I prefer to have your bottle in my possession at least two weeks before the date of return. This allows a bit of extra time to build layers and give ample drying time. If I have the opportunity to begin your bottle sooner and finish it before your date, I will! I can do bottles on short notice (within a week), but there will be a rush fee included.
Why are painted bottles only available in Ky?
Sadly, I cannot ship liquor or purchase the bottle for you due to liquor laws and regulations.
However, I have empty bourbon bottles that I paint on and would love to ship you a custom piece! These bottles are available for any location. I recommend using these bottles as decor, a vase, or a whisky decanter! If you are located out-of-state, but would like a painted bottle, please fill out a contact form.
What bottles do you recommend?
Woodford Reserve is the most popular choice, but I can do just about any brand. The biggest thing to keep in mind when choosing a bottle is your photo choice. Some of my favorites to paint are:
Angels Envy
Maker’s Mark
Jefferson’s
Knob Creek
1792
Jack Daniel’s
Limestone Branch Distillery (Minor Case)
