Here are a few of my works this week. Top is the reference and bottom is my painting. I’m most proud of the last one with the reflections and refractions. Really pleased with how all of them turned out. Something I’ll work on in the coming week will be the amount of time I spend per painting. I get lost in the minor details and feel I’m overworking some bits without actually improving the piece as a whole. It’ll also preserve the painterly feel as photorealism shouldn’t be the objective at this stage I think

Here are three of my attempts. Definitely saw some improvement between my first and last attempts!
