    Doubts in glass painting

    Hi All

    I am not very much comfortable in using out liners to trace the pattern in the glass to paint. Is there any other option by which i can trace the pattern neatly?

    Also I would like to know how to cut the glass pieces based on patterns?

    Please suggest me how to give double colors, shades, painting nose eyes etc in the glass paintings

    Thanks
    Luks

    You can use markers to do the outlines..it will come out very well.
    And to cut glass you ca get glass cutters. But u must be very careful to use it.
    You can blend to colours to shade . But must be fast in doing it. It will form like a film very fast.

    Doubt about glass painting.

    Dear friends,

    I am a new member. I am interested in glass painting. I learnt the art along with my son in a summer class. Now I would like to paint french doors and windows in my house. Can I follow the method of outlining the design with an outliner and colour it with solvent glass colours? How to maintain? If I wipe the doors and windows, will it fade? Kindly help?

    I have taken the photo of my first glass painting in my mobile. I will attach it soon.

    Happy to post my first thread.

    giri:)

    Re: Doubt about glass painting.

    i dont think it will stay if you use the normal outline and all. you need to do it prefessionally. with some chemical.
    i dont know exactly .

    Thankyou ani for your reply. I don't know where I am going to get the correct procedure. But I desperately want to start atleast on a small window. I hope I will learn from our friends here.

    with regards
    giri.
