Now that the painting is looking pretty good and the sleepwalker in particular is coming together, it is time to paint a little eye candy in the painting. Actually, the eye candy in this painting is the reason for actually picking this subject.
We will add the burning candle; we've already painted the base colors, but not the glow light. We will also add some smoke coming from the candle. I know, candles do not smoke when they are lit, but this is a fantasy painting, and the candles will do anything I want, including smoking. Finally, we will paint a little moonlight shining through a window onto the wall and the sleepwalker.
