About this course
This course has been created to introduce you the basic glass painting skills. The online course helps you to create faux stained glass designs effect on a flat surface. It’s an easy and user-friendly alternative to classic stained glass techniques, which can take years to perfect. You will choose the design and during the course you will be taught different methods and techniques to apply the glass paint to end up with a unique handmade design.
On this course, you will learn how to paint on glass using traditional glass painting techniques. This course is
aimed to give learners a good understanding of the processes used for centuries by stained glass artists to give depth and an additional dimension to their work. We will cover:
- Understanding the properties of the materials (glass paint and outliner)
- Practice with the outliner by completing several exercices
- Transfer and trace the design and apply the outliner on the glass
- Dilute the paint to the right consistency
- Experiment with colour by applying the glass paint on your surface
- Protect the surface by applying a layer of water base varnish (silk or gloss)
You will need
- Water base glass paint, outliner (black, gold or silver), palette, a range of synthetic paint brushes, a solvent (such as white spirit), a 20x 30cm sheet of glass and frame, Wilko water base varnish, a simple design (photo reference)
