Crystal Ball by Adel Radwan

This is a beautiful and mystical piece that has a crystall ball in the forefront. Notice how the crystall ball is semi transparent. This is an important thing to remember when you do your artwork. Not everything is solid. And it can be a real challenge to portray something transparent and accurate. The artist painted the background and then added in the crystal ball using various shades of white. You should experiment with transparency. It is very important to an artist.
