This one was a bit of a dotty challenge. I love the look of old oil lamps and we have a few about the cottage, so I thought I’d give it a go. I used various marks for shading, some hatching, some stippling, and I achieved a pleasing result.

The glass was difficult as I needed to make it lighter than the brasswork with the impression of transarency. And the shadows of the glass were interesting.

Let me know what you think.
