Glass Painting Art Decor

1. Introduction: Hi, I'm scientists. And today I'm going to show you how to make your very own gloss out that you can hang on your own. This type of offer that works best with simple figures and shapes and is a really dynamic piece to any room. I'll be showing you how to paint on gloss and house layered correctly. So let's get to it. 2. Supplies: Let's talk supplies. For this project. You're going to need a photo frame, the size of the picture. You want. The picture, you want to draw some water, a paintbrush, a permanent marker, paint that matches the colors, new image, and a paper plate to mix your colors on. You could also use a palette for your image. You will need to reverse it before you print it so that it ends up the right way around. This is particularly important. If you have the text in your image. To flip your image, you simply open it in Microsoft Word. This will be nice, especially if you are trying to print an a for image, because microsoft Word has a full paper, so you know exactly how long it's going to be on the paper. Then you input your image and go to the top click on format. Go to rotate. Once you click down on that menu, you'll see there should be an option that says the vertically or horizontally. You'll want to flip it horizontally and then it's ready to print. 3. Line Art: Hello again. Are you ready to begin? Because our art is going to be viewed from the other side of the glass. We need to paint it in such a way that the first layer we put down is also the front most art and detail work of our ADH, which is normally the last step. So to begin, we're going to create our line naught. For this part, we will need the permanent marker frame and our printed image to keep the image from moving around too much, I'm going to place it inside of this rain. But you can also just tape it to the glass. If you draw a line and it seems not to be solid black, just leave it to dry for a few minutes and then draw over it again. If you draw over it to see, the permanent marker will most likely just pick up whatever was placed down. If you make a small mistake, it's perfectly okay. You can either thicken up the line little scratches that Dr. Malcolm's day put your nails. Once your line out and done, you're ready to make it over to the next day. 4. Painting: Now that your line out is completed, it's time to paint. I use acrylic paint because it's easy to find. But quash could also work for a project like this. Then we're going to do shadows. Need to make sure to mix a lot of your color because you are going to need to pack it on white thick. This is so that the light doesn't shine through your art in unwanted phases and creates a good solid field. To make sure you aren't painting too thin. I like to lay a white sheet, bind my painting, or often hold it up to the light to see the gaps. You want to start with the small details first, such as highlights or white streaks. Anything small or detail orientated. When mixing shadows, you should try to avoid black too much as it might muddy or shadows. For shading, I tend to add a slightly darker, different complimentary color. So too dark and read, I would add the little purple for orange. I would add red. For yellow, I would add orange. Moving onto green, I would actually go in the other direction on the color wheel by adding some dark blue. For blue, I would also add little purple light for the red and for purple, depending on if the rest of the piece has more warm or cold colors, I would add red or blue. A little bit of black is great for darkening, but coupled with the saturated colors, it makes for a much smoother shadows. Once you first coat of paint for an areas down and you notice there's still a light shining through. You can just use some of the excess paint from other areas of your painting to help fill it out. Because only a first layer will be seen on the other side. After the shadows we're going to do the midtones. This includes all the colors are not highlights or shadows. Make sure to let your paint dry a little so that it doesn't smudge. The further you get along in this process, the stranger your work will look. But remember that this is the back and not what's going to be seen from the front. Once all of your paint is down, you can move on to the final step. 5. Finishing Touches: Hi and welcome to the final step. If you paint to roughly some of your permanent marker may come off. But an easy trick to this is just to go over that line out on the other side of the glass. This has the added bonus of fading a 3D look to your piece. For my odd, I have decided to go over his entire face again just to really allow top. 6. Project Time: Now it's your turn to paint on some glass. I recommend images. We'll favorite cartoons or animate because the color blocking is nice and simple. And also, uh, be patient and allow the paint time to dry. This will make layering a lot easier. Make sure to make enough paint to. It can run up really quick when you're painting in this style. I would love to see how yours turns out. So please post a picture of it in the project gallery. Don't be afraid to ask any questions, and I really hope you have fun. 7. Thank You: Hi again, thanks for joining me. I hope you learned a cool new skill and had some fun until I see you again.
