Glass Paintings

Bouquet of Flowers

If you think only artists can do glass painting, you are wrong. Painting on glass may seem impossible, but all it takes is patience. Hence,even if you don't know the ABCD of painting you can become a glass painter, as it is most easy and quick.

 The best part I like it is that unlike the tedious job of water color painting or oil painting, glass painting is very easy. It is a fun and a great hobby. It does not create the  difficulty of paint brushes.

All we have to use is the control on the flow of glass paint. 

Each glass paint bottle  comes with a small nozzle through which you can give the painting on the glass. A tube  is glass liner which is black, used for lining the picture you want to paint.

There are other colors also that comes in the form of liner.There are golden,silver etc. Golden liner is used in the “Ganeshji", "Bride" and "Parrot" paintings.

Butterfly

In most of the paintings I used only black liners. There are transparent liners also which I used in the painting “Butterfly”.

While the colors for filling are fairly in liquid form. But these gets dried soon.

Here are the few steps I follow while doing glass paintings

Step 1:Clean the glass on both sides with soap water .Dry it

Step 2: Choose a good pattern and draw it in a white paper.

Step3: Place the paper below the glass sheet.

Step 4: Trace the outlines of the design using the liner. Keep it to dry. Leave it untouched.

Step 5:Paint the design with required Glass colors. Leave to dry for 24 hours.

Initially I used glass paper sheets instead of glass piece. I even framed it myself using a thermocole and cardboard. To give more looks I used color cello tape for border as in “Fairy Lady” painting.

Later I started doing it in glass pieces.
