Talk about getting lost in shapes and shadows! This found composition taught me how to “draw clear.” Painting and drawing clear objects is a matter of focusing on highlights, shadows, pattern, and whatever is going on inside and behind a glass object. Patterns on glass cast shadow patterns helping to create a sense of transparency. In this case, even dust helped to define the shape of the glass and enhance the illusion of “clear.” Highlights are the hero in “Three”! Without proper shape and highlight placement, a clear object becomes solidified.
