Merry CRITmas!
(If you don't know about Critmas yet, go here: fav.me/d9l5203 )
First of all I'd like to give a big thumbs up for your delightful, warm colour scheme. Those yellow tones really draw each object together and make for an agreeable picture as a whole.
I *do* spot some inaccuracies, however. Bear with me as I go over what struck me as flaws of an otherwise gorgeous painting:
Firstly, the guitar's perspective on the left side seems a tad off - it looks warped. Logically, you could draw an imaginary middle line from the bottom straight through the neck to were the top is supposed to be, but that won't be the case here.
I also spot a difference in the bulge below the neck of the bottle on the left compared to the right one, causing assymetry.
In light of this, I'd advice, for your next work obviously, to lightly sketch in all your details with pencil and double-check your three-dimensional objects for accuracy. Traditional techniques are so unforgiving, after all, and watercolour is a very delicate medium!
I would also suggest minimising the brushstrokes showing in your tabletop. Maybe brushing the area with clean water before applying the paint (so that it spreads without much brushing) might prevent that surface from bulging unrealistically (I think this is because you might be righthanded, which gives your straight strokes a bit of a curve to the left). Those three folds, as they are, in the centre really don't mesh with a flat tabletop if you ask me.
All in all I think this is a painting you can be proud of and I imagine it ending up on someone's wall eventually. Again, your colours are - quite literally, I daresay - golden...!
Have a happy New Year, and keep up the good work!
(Please disregard the stars as I'm terrible with those and it's a stupid system to use on dA anyway.)

This seems to be school work. Are you in some art school? :'33

I graduated 5 years of Art school already, it was a long time ago. Now I'm 22.
I was on my first year in Art college, but one bad thing happened to me, I'm really sick...
So I didn't go to the Art college now, but I'll repass Art exams this summer again, and hope I will go to the Art college again this September.
And this watercolour painting was my first watercolour still life after I graduate Art school. A long time ago.
So I started to learn watercolour paints again.
I know that I'm very bad in it. Very bad. Sorry.
