Drawing on glass is one of the wonderful and useful artistic drawing methods, and it is one of the drawing methods that can be applied in a way that is not difficult, you only need to have the tools required to do the work and time for training and learning, and I think that you will come out with a good result when you master this method of drawing. .
And let's start by identifying the tools you need to do the work.
- Brushes for coloring: special colors for glass, and there are two types of them, a transparent type that allows light to pass through, which gives wonderful colors for light rays penetrating the glass, and the other type is not transparent and does not allow light to penetrate.
- Selection tubes: There are black, gold, silver, and copper tubes.
- Glass plate that will be painted on: a pattern for the shape to be drawn in the size of the glass plate.
- Thinner is used to clean the brush, and to lighten or remove colors.
How is the drawing process:
- Work must be done to clean the glass plate before drawing from any impurities.
- Install the pattern on the bottom of the glass well.
- Use the prominent marking tube to define the shape, but here your hand must be firm and not vibrating, so that the marking line is smooth, and you must take into account the pressure on the marking tube with the same force along the shape.
- After the selection dries completely, the coloring stage begins, and it is done using the brush, where it distributes the colors according to the chosen shape, but it is better to start with light colors, as it is easy to control the degree of their darkening easily.
- After you have finished painting the figure on the glass, put the plate in a place away from hands, and move until it dries completely.
- After the shape has completely dried, you can use the board in any way, you may make it glass for a window, or an art painting where you choose a suitable background, or a base for one of the serving trays, but it is always preferable to show the beauty of colored glass by exposing it to light, where it shows its beauty and splendor.
