### STEP 1 - Make a sketch
The first step is to make a sketch! You can keep it nice and loose. I used a reference photo to make this painting.

### STEP 2 - Base color
Once you've made the sketch, add a new layer beneath the sketch and start painting the base colors. Be mindful of the edges in your painting, you'll want the edges of the glass to be nice and crisp, but you can paint the edges of the bubbles more loosely.

### STEP 3 - Defining the shape
Lower the opacity of the sketch layer and start to define the details of the painting more. Work from big shapes to smaller shapes.

### STEP 4 - Detailing and reflection
Copy the layers you've got and flip them vertically, now move them below the glass to make a reflection. You can use a layer mask to fade the reflection and make it look more realistic. Keep working on the details of the painting until you're satisfied.
