Painting Glass: Influence of the Background

The color of a glass is influenced by what's in the background. These are the same two glasses as in the previous photo, but with a orange plate behind them. Compare the two photos and you'll see how the 'color' of the glasses change.

Notice how the colors in the stems of the glasses are influenced too. There are oranges in all sorts of places, including shadows and edge closest to you.
