[Michael Akin]

Attached is my 2 hour practice in glass and reflective qualities... Used watercolor on 11 x 15 cold press.. Not very exciting, but enjoyeed the practice on a Saturday Evening.

Anything in wc is exciting to me Micheal. I can't do it worth a lick. I think glass and metal are the hardest. Any and all studies of them usually end up paying off down the line. You've got reflections and the blue bottle in particular looks nice and glassy. Well done!:thumbsup:

I like the reflections you have captured. It almost looks like dusk in the picture! And the proportions of your bottles look right to me -- I couldn't get that worth a darn!

Love it! It has a feel of a gloomy day outside too (you have given it mood is what i am trying to say :) ).

Lovely form on those bottles, very nice I especially like the base of the bottles and the edges of the windows
Congrats :)

Thanks everyone for your positive perspectives... Glass and metal are challenging but I like a challenge in anything I attempt. Again, many thanks from Choo-Choo City. Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Practice is worth all the time we put into it. You have the feel of glass in both jars, good colors.

The practice paid off - the reflections are good, the glass believable .. a couple of hours well spent I'd say :thumbsup:

May not be exciting but has a nice peaceful quality.... I like it.

Great bottles and the touch of green in the blue one is lovely. The more I look into your glass, the more skill I see in your water colouring

This is great! I especially love the blue bottle. It looks very much like glass.
