painting. It could be Krishna, angels, nature
or any other of your choice
• Do no change t he position of glass
while doing work. Stick you pattern with
glass tape, or another s imple idea i follow
is, v can mark the four corners o f the glass
on t he design pattern with pencil, so even if
it moves, we will know the exact position
• To avoid bubbles do not shake the bott le before painting... take lit tle quant ity...and apply in layers...Still if
bubbles persist than burst it with a pin immediately.
• Adapt normal paintings or photographs into glass painting designs, download a picture that you like and
convert it t o a glass painting template by yourself & paint.
• When you apply the paint on the outlined design, make sure the surface is flat or else colour will spill in
other areas.
• Beginners st art with designs having wide areas to paint rather the very intricate designs
• To observe mistakes always work with good light possible if the light comes from down .Close the fan
while painting else the thinner in the colour will evaporate.
• Once you have painted, never leave the painting in a bright open place else the color may f ade and
dust may accumulate if its a open space
• Never use a brush always work with nozzle provided by the company otherwise patches will appear.
• If you want to give shading f or (e.g under water ef f ect) to regular stain glass colours you can give light
shades in certain areas, also leave certain areas blank and f ew with dark colours . .You can make colour light
by adding white colour ,f or brightness you can add yellow f or high to nes you can add black or blue....the
trick is how u spread d colours .For outline you can use black liner or camlin’s t ransparent one.
• For skin colour use brown with white or f lesh t int colo r which is available in camlin
• To paint on curved surfaces you need f ast drying poly utherine medium and good quality glass
strainers. It dries out in 2 minutes. Poly utherine medium is around 500/ per liters and glass strainers are
around 150 to 200/ per 100 ml. But t hey are dif f icult to f ind.
• Normally when we store unframed glass painting . Cloth or paper st icks on the paint t o avoid this
sandwich the painting. Ideally it should be sandwiched with a glass piece when it is dry but you can also useOHP paper, the bubble plastic sheet
To prevent your glass colours from gett ing dry
I think there is no solution for s to ring colors f or a long period of time , but keep using them and use thinner
if they litt le gets or buy small bot tles
To remove old glass painting designs
• Use a razor but you have to be careful otherwise scratches will appear.
• Another way is put a wet cloth o n the painting and let it choke it f or a day. The next day you will f ind iteasy as the paints will be half way out.
• One can also use nail polish remover or thinner

Reverse glass painting
In Reverse Glass Painting the artist paint on one side of the glass, while it is viewed f rom the other side.
Basically the non- painted surf ace will be the s ide that is displayed.
The technique is a litt le unusual and tricky initially.
The re are t wo tricks involved
First : We should trace the mirror image of the design if the design is no t symmetrical. For eg. The artist
signature would be traced as t hey will be seen in a looking mirror.Because the painting is viewed f rom the
opposite s ide
Second:In normal glass painting we make the background f irst and then the f iner details. But in case o f
Reverse glass paint ing we will make the f iner details f irst and the the background. For eg If we have to
make a hand with jewellery. We would paint the jewellery f irst and then t he hand.One has t o keep in mind
that whatever appears in the f oreground is painted f irst. Another example is normally we will paint the f acef irst and then the f eatures like eyes, nose, eyebrows and lips whereas in Reverse glass painting the
f eatures are painted f irst f ollowed by the f ace .
