If in the first century BC painting on glasswere 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.

Necessary materials and tools

To create beautiful paintings on glass,the master will need synthetic brushes, cotton swabs, toothpicks, relief stamps, pattern patterns, glass contours, palette, acrylic water-based paints or alkyd-based paints, acrylic lacquer, solvent, alcohol to wipe 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 plot 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 the selected drawing somewhere before obtaining a contour template, in which the outline of the depicted object is saved. Now you should thoroughly wipe the surface with alcohol - degrease. And you can start painting on the glass.

Sequence of work

Those who have artistic abilities cando without stamps and templates, sketching the marker, so to speak, "from the 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 correct 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 turnedin fine works of art. For their painting it is necessary to take cone-shaped brushes. To apply 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. Do brush strokes quickly until the paint has dried. Sometimes the master can come in handy brush with a rigid 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.
