I've spent the last few weeks darkening the background areas and that's helped make the front of the book appear closer. I won't be able to achieve the brightness of the white page that you would see in real life, but there are still some things to do that will help... With each session, I make minor improvements to the drawing as I concentrate on smaller and smaller areas... Firm conclusion: rope is hard, cork is easy.
I made a slight modification to the set up by rehanging the yellow lure on wire instead of fishing line and leader so that I can more easily manipulate its position. It's now slightly higher and to the right so it doesn't obscure the edge of the carpet moving forward out of the shadows. This lure will definitely be the last thing I paint.
