The technique of decorative painting on glass can be mastered by everyone

If in the first century BC the glass paintings were the lot of only professionals, today it has become a hobby for many creative personalities. Anyone who is familiar with this technique can decorate the most diverse glass surfaces. Paintings on glass decorate the dishes, you can create real paintings with acrylic paints on the glass, turn the ordinary door into a fabulous entrance into the magical world of fantasy.

Required materials and tools

To create beautiful paintings on glass, the master will need synthetic brushes, cotton buds, toothpicks, relief stamps, pattern patterns, glass contours , palette, acrylic water-based paints or paints based on alkyd resins, acrylic lacquer, solvent, alcohol for rubbing the surface before starting Work. Of course, it is necessary to decide on what the masterpiece will be performed on, and to come up with the picture itself. Stamps and templates are necessary for those who do not hope for their abilities, because to be a talented artist is not inherent in everyone. Therefore, it is enough for a beginner draftsman to process an image selected somewhere before obtaining a contour template, in which the outline of the depicted object is saved. Now carefully wipe the surface with alcohol - degrease. And you can start painting on the glass.

Sequence of work

Those who have artistic abilities, can do without stamps and templates, sketching the marker, so to speak, "out of my head". The rest is applied to the glass template and gently traverse it with either a marker or a contour. By the way, contours are special paints in tubes, but more dense than those intended for coloring. If the painting on acrylic glass is carried out using a contour, the picture is more like a stained-glass window, a bit "cartoonish", as if clearly outlined. Without a contour, an image similar to painting is obtained, more realistic. Apply the contour neatly, with a smooth continuous layer. If something suddenly went wrong, you need to immediately fix it using a toothpick, cotton buds, thinner or water. To paint it is necessary only after the drying out of the circuit, that is, after 10-15 minutes.

Art painting on glass

Even ordinary transparent glasses can be turned into beautiful works of art. For their painting it is necessary to take cone-shaped brushes. For the application of small parts, a very thin brush is required. Painting glass without a contour is carried out almost the same way as artists do, who paint on canvas. That is, having dipped the brush nap into the paint, the draftsman easily touches it to the glass, trying to evenly distribute the color over the surface. You should perform strokes quickly, until the paint has dried up. Sometimes a master can come in handy with a brush with a hard pile or toothpicks - to give the image relief. After drying the pattern can be covered with a transparent acrylic lacquer. This way the picture will stay bright and fresh for a longer time.
