Glass Painting By Sudha Art Gallery

WE offer this Glass painting is a kind of drawing painted on the inside surface of transparent glass, executed with oil and hard resin or with watercolor and gum on glass sheets. Also known as reverse glass painting, engravings are laid down on the back of the glass, and painted from the reverse. The effect is one of stunning clarity and rich color ideally serving as a connoisseur's delight.

Major types of traditional stained glass paints are: vinegar trace paint, matt paint, silver stain, and oil-based paints. The process of glass painting usually starts with etching a full size working drawing. Using this drawing as a template, the glass is selected and cut, and each piece of glass is individually painted using glass paint. The paint is then fired into the surface by heating the glass to approximately 650A A centigrade in a furnace. When all of the glass has been painted it is assembled into lead panels.

Glass painting allows an expressive mix of form and dimension to be added to glass. Painters today coming up with fused elements in their paintings and offer contemporary glass painting designs on a variety of topics. Decorated with a blend of sparkling light, the beauty of a glass painting is par excellence.
