the race is on... still...
I've darkened down the wine again and am looking at the values of the leaves. As I start painting in the foreground leaves the middle and background may need to be darkened.

I've pulled out some of the reds in the wine to enhance the reflection on the glass. That may be a temporary step as I develop the reflections.
I am adding darkness and reflections to the bottle, the vines that I have twisting over it are not making sense to me so I will alter their shape. The mask will come off so I can see exactly where my highlights are and how much I have to alter them.
All the mask is removed, I've changed the vines on the bottle, painted in a number of the foreground leaves, darkened the background leaves and added light and dark areas to the vines overall. The reflection on the left of the glass was altered, pulling out some paint in the area that has no wine, and adding back in some color where the wine is in the glass. I also darkened down the bottom of the bottle again.
Yellow on the foreground vines and further veining in the leaves which is resulting in some value changes for everything in the background. I am painting the white spaces I may have left next to the bottle and glass where the leaves did not yet go the the edges. Many of the leaves in the background will stay loosely developed, with the detail going on the foreground leaves.
