When painting glass or crystal you have to paint what is behind the glass, then the glass itself, and then what is in front of the glass. Carefully capturing the snowglobe for example, I achieved the illusion of transparency by painting a background, that has a appearance of crushed velvet. Then painted the church in the snowglobe, and the snow itself. And then I finally I captured the highlights and shadows reflected off the glass in my still life set up.
