  • Glass Painting

     

    Glass painting has become a highly expressive art form and it's all because there are no boundaries. You can paint on any surface or shape you want. The painting process on glass is not an easy one. It can take weeks to complete and needs a lot of patience to properly apply each coat of paint or else it will start to peel off. It's very detailed too as even a single stroke changes the look of the final product. A glass painter has to be a good juggler of light, texture and color. They also have to be able to employ various types of paint (such as water-based or oil for example) to create the desired effect on their work.

    Glass painting is a very new form of art because it contrast the color of glass that is transparent and reflective by adding layers of paint on top. The film is an intermediate surface- it's neither transparent nor reflective but can be perceived as either. In this way, metallic paints and stains, or gradients can be created. You can have different thicknesses for the brushstrokes too, if you want.

    It's also an art form that can be done by kids & adults alike; not just professionals. With this form, you'll have the chance to exercise your creativity in new ways through trying different techniques and materials.

    Glass paintings are a type of artwork that is painted with paint on the glass' surface. They can be a beautiful and iconic decoration for your home. They won't just fade with time, they'll also be passed down to other generations, becoming a part of your family history.
