    Trial version is too good.:thumbsup You can go head with the glass,but take care
    1.not to let brush strokes visible.(as it is seen now on ohp)
    2.Use even more brighter color shades.
    3.Concentrate on-uniform outlining.

    Wishes and thanks.

    Zoom out your painting... all over your work,there are brush strokes(brush lines) made while applying paint over the sheet.
    giving some eg: check the brush strokes-uneven painting in these spots....

    Use brush strokes only in one direction.
    Try to give a smooth uniform brushing/application of paint while doing on glass to avoid these strokes/lines visible.

    Thanks.
