Photo Realism

This was a fun project, I used the gesso/matte medium/water solution with water color on top, so I could do the pick-out technique. This was pretty close to my comfort zone, because I like being a copying machine, or at least trying. I think the water droplets could have turned out better , but I'm pretty happy with the rest of it, after all, I recall you using the term "kick butt" so... Anyway, I learned better how to tighten up water color successfully with this one.
