When I return to this painting, the background should be dry. I'm then going to add the final touch before moving on to the final stage of this painting. The missing element is the yellow and red lure that will dangle down the front between the blanket and the lamp, above the book.

Painting Glass
This past week, I repainted the background a warmer dark value and took the opportunity to paint the glass lantern. I've learned that painting glass is mostly about painting the reflections. Anything that's not a reflection has to be the background behind the glass. This particular lamp is getting dusty on all sides, having sat in the same place for the last 5 months, so I have to take that into account... The lamp also has a few drops of melted wax in front, and I've added them here.
