Painting critique needed

Hi,
Here is a still life Gouache painting I did today to try out my new Plein Air painting setup that I based on the compact Watercolour setup that James Gurney uses. I used a Red, Blue and dull Yellow to mix the colours for this painting with a higher Chroma Yellow introduced for the Lemmon.
Any critique would be welcome!
Delightful! James Gurney is awesome, he knows what's what. Only critique: Reflection of the white cloth wraps around the front of the teapot all the way, even around the area just before the spout.
Nicely done! I really like the reflection in particular.
Did you do the whole thing with the flat brush in the picture?
Thanks! yes, I did the painting just with that brush, but usually id aslo use a slighty larger one.
I always say that a good drawing makes a painting. Love this still life. It's a good start. Have you ever tried light watercolor then using Gouache as dark tones. You can get interesting color combinations. use the watercolor loose. Then blend in the dark tones with the gouche. Let it bleed a little. Really like this though. Fabuluos!
