If you were to mass-produce your picture, the company that makes Corona would likely come after you. Making one picture, the company will neither know nor will they care. A trademark is only valid if the owner enforces the trademark. In your case, you're not stealing anything, you're merely painting a picture of their beer - that should be covered under fair-use.
