Painting on glass is a remarkable art form and requires you to learn some really meticulous glass painting techniques. The beauty of these paintings leaves one amazed as both the medium and the painting combine to give an ethereal effect.

You too can achieve wonderful glass paintings by following these easy tips:
  • Sketch the designs at the back of the sheet of the glass.
  • After outlining the design apply colors using a brush or directly with hand, making sure that they do not spill over.
  • Use only gum-based colors, they are more durable.
  • Make sure the part you have just painted is dry before moving on to the next section.
  • Fire the paints onto the glass using a kiln if you want the paint to be permanent.
  • Voila you have a wonderful glass painting ready to be displayed.
The medium of glass provides the painter with something that no other mediums can - the light effect.
