    It looks very good, particularly compared to the woman’s face you posted before.

    The only critiques I have are on the droplets on top and to the back right of the leaf. They don’t have enough weight to them. They are almost spherical with their bottom point barely touching the leaf (one actually looking like it sits directly on another droplet which isn’t realistic), rather than the deformed base of the other droplets on top. Moreover they allow the colors from the background to come through with too little interaction with the droplet illumination. It looks like there is very little between the background and the observer instead of a lense of water. It makes them look like soap bubbles instead of water. Light and hollow.

    But, again, the rest of the droplets look great. A great improvement. Good job, dude.

      Thank you!

      I’m really struggling to find references where other people have tackled this type of painting that’s between realism and impressionism. Either they skip the detail all together or just replicate a photograph.

      It’s exciting and hard at the same time lol 🤣
