Very impressive, looks just like a photograph. The detail in the glass and labels are exceptional.

Thank you very much, I've spent a lot of time and effort on the details but I can not really get that shiny surface of the bottles.

Then may I offer a tip? I had to do at least a dozen paintings of bottles and vases in high school, but mine were in acrylic so...results may vary. What I did was I essentially did a white wash of paint with a round point brush. I'd sweep the brush with the tip pressed into the canvas and the side of the brush gently touching. This creates a strong white line that fades and mimics reflection a bit. Then when that dried, I'd to back over the harsh line (made from the tip of the brush) with thicker white paint. Maybe these instructions aren't as informative as I'd hope, but I have some of those paintings on my profile if that helps explain things better.

I looked in your gallery, awesome paintings. Good advice, I'm doing something similar with sharp white areas that simulate reflections. Someday I'll do a painting with lots of glass objects that reflect themselves in each other so I can try different tricks.

Oh good, I'm glad I could help! (Not that your painting really needs help; it looks fantastic. ) And I appreciate the compliment. Hope to see more excellent work soon from you
