7. Glass Painting : the fun paints

Glass Painting is bright, simple, quick and loads of fun. I may sound a word of caution here. The solvent based paints are highly toxic ( my head is still feeling a little heavy from yesterday’s session). If you are particularly sensitive you can use a mask.

Yesterday I painted this glass plate retrieved from my old discarded micro oven. Just put a motif underneath, drew the outline with a transparent outliner tube and poured the glass paints to blend. Took at best an hour.

The aquarium took much longer and some planning. Drew the fishes and other animals on pieces of paper and arranged and stuck them on a glass sized white sheet of paper, put the glass on top and got started, not forgetting the cups of hot black tea we had take to clear our throats and brains of the toxic fumes –kidding of course!

The next beautiful composition by Parmita in  geometric form has taken much more effort and planning. She made a number of geometrical spaces by outlining the glass surface with the outliner and then one by one painted different objects in each section to give this multicoloured effect.

The next painting by Parmita is glass paint on canvas and is giving the effect of an oil painting. The method is the same.
