Greetings my dear friends...
I am as excited as you are to begin our journey into the delightful and exciting world of Glass Painting.
Glass painting is a very delightful and popular art. Glass painting is a relatively easy technique, but delivers amazing results. The best part about glass painting is that it is not a very expensive craft. So lets get started with the basics of glass painting. Once you have mastered the basic techniques of glass painting you will enjoy playing around with different paints and textures and creating your own unique designs.
You do not require any special tools for glass painting.
The first step in glass painting, is to find a suitable piece of glassware and clean it with warm soapy water. You can find many items in your own kitchen like empty jam, jelly and coffee jars, glasses, bottles to start with. Craft shops have a lot of items like candle holders, vases, etc..
My favorite places to shop are Ikea, Micheal's, Walmart and Bed Bath & Beyond for they have a good availability of clear glassware.
Here is a list of the materials you will need -
Glassware that catches your fancy...can be a bowl, a plate, a vase, a votive holder. Make sure that the glass is cleaned in warm soapy water and completely dried.
Glass paint markers are available for outlining designs on glass. Pebeo's Vitrea 160 line offers 18 markers (9 glossy colors and 9 frosted colors). I prefer to use the Pebeo applicator bottles with a metal tip.You can fill these bottles with liquid glass paint for fine lines.The metal tips should be washed in warm soapy water immediately after use.
These are the basic materials you will need for beginning your adventure with Glass painting.
Like with any other field of learning, however much knowledge or experience you have gained, you will never have learned enough. You will always come up with new techniques and ideas. I will share with you the tricks and techniques I have learned over the years and rest assured that I will be with you to help you pursue your passion.
So pick up your paint brush and transform the world around you.!!!!
