Painting on glass is an amazing art form. The beauty of these paintings leave people dazzled. For centuries Gothic churches have inspired awe in us because of their remarkable use of glass paintings. Its still very popular today.
The medium of glass provides the painter with something that no other mediums can, the light effect.
History says that glass paintings became quite a range in Italy during the Renaissance. They were in the miniature style and where found in altars of churches. Most themes were scenes from the Bible.
For me depending on how much time you want to put in on your project, depends on the time required for it. I thing glass painting is very fun though and very easy. When you are working on a glass painting make sure you have enough of your color that you are using. Have toothpicks on hand to pop the bubbles too. You must also have enough lead to do the outline of your sketch. The lead will separate all your colors.
This sounds like a fun and much less dangerous alternative to stained glass work, where you have to cut and solder. Is there a special kind of paint that has to be used, or will any kind work? What is the lead between the colors?
