Glass painting is one of the fast growing art and craft in all cultures and has got a wider scope. To write completely on glass painting is not possible. There are different ways to paint on a glass that ranges from traditional glass painting to specialized glass painting. It is very interesting to do. Different accessories are used in glass painting and special glass paintings kits are available in market. Types of traditional glass painting include:
- Vinegar Trace Paint
- Matt Paint
- Silver Paint
- Oil Based Paint
To do glass painting, one should follow the set of instructions given below:
Select a glass having smooth, clear and plain surface. Avoid using printed and rough surfaced glasses. Use gloves while dealing with the glass.- Clean the glass to make it free from all dirt and debris as glass paints can’t stick on dusty surface. Clean the glass surface with water and dry it with paper towel or clean cloth.
- If you don’t have free painting skills then first of all you draw the image on the paper and then paste the sketch inside the glass.
- Don’t smudge the already drawn outline with new one. Very often beginners make a mistake that they start new outline from the existing one and smudge the paint color on one point that looks very bad.
- First make outlines and let the painting dry then adorn it with vibrant glass paints. Different types of glass paints are available in market as some colors are available in tubes with nozzles that allow the painter to apply the paint directly on the glass and some paints are available in tubes and used by using simple water paint brushes. Select the color according to the design.
- Let the painting dry and then hang it on wall or frame it.
- Use thinner to clean paint brushes
Follow the tips shared above and make marvelous glass painting.
