<p>You hit the nail on the head Richard.... "trust your eyes rather than your brain" and "compare, compare, compare" is sound advice for painting glass. Good strong darks and sparkling light are both key to setting off a glass object to it's fullest advantage.</p>
<p>The photo I've posted here is [detail from] my first attempt at glass and I really wish I'd read your advice first - it would have made life so much easier but, in any case, this is one of two paintings which are featured in the…</p>

<p>The photo I've posted here is [detail from] my first attempt at glass and I really wish I'd read your advice first - it would have made life so much easier but, in any case, this is one of two paintings which are featured in the new Kennedy Publication's "The Best of Worldwide Watermedia Artists" so I guess I didn't make such a hash of it!</p>

<p>I like the background in particular. It is dark enough to set off the glass and though muted the detail suggesting foliage adds needed interest. A swishy background of broad brush marks of varying tones and colors is a simple and quick solution, but I find it tricky, not as simple as it appears.</p>
