Jase is very shiney, ma rmacle, and has a hare sur- face. It distorts color, light, and anything behind it, including itself. The most ‘expensive crystal will distort, although inexpensive bottles distort ten times more, sinew the glass is thicker and order to see through. Light travels through glass and also bounces: off glass. Some light gets trapped inside the bottle and bounces around, making slints and shines in tunusual places, Glass reflects objects around and under it. The reflection color often a combi- ‘nation OF the lass color and the color ff the object reflected in it. When two lass pieces come close together, they reflect a shine back and forth into each other, Shadows and shines: may also be reflected “To create a transparent look, the back~ ground and hack side of the bottle shuld show through. An object bekind ‘or insiele glass will be distorted, and give glass the look of transparency. Yavy light spots in the shadow oF glass will also rencler_ transparency. Lost edges on a container, espedally oon the comers of the ellipse (top oper ing), will give ita see-through look ‘Use a dark value mixture of the back- ground color to create the form of the glass, If you use too much Black or Dark Grey, the glass will seem dark, ddingy, and unattractive, Establisting the form is the first consideration in painting. glass, Usuolly the dark is painted all around the inside edge of the glass, and in any of the indenta~ tions of the glass. The light is painted ‘an top of these areas, but not as wide. Sometimes, depending on the light source, the light covers the dark, 50 the lark is no longer visible, ‘Note: The table fine és visible through ‘the clear glass bottles and is wery dis- forted.
