Preparation is defined as the action of making ready or being made ready for use. Preparation is necessary before every operation in life.
Preparation before creating a Glass Painting is equally necessary not only for achieving a better result but also obtaining a better satisfaction.
Preparing the Media for a Glass Painting
Preparation before creating a Glass Painting is equally necessary not only for achieving a better result but also obtaining a better satisfaction.
Preparing the Media for a Glass Painting
- Removing stain from the glass
- The easiest way is to wash the glass with soap and water. Dry it out with the help of either soft tissue or any cotton cloth.
[N.B. Beware of cuts due to sharp edges of glass; if edges are not polished.] - If there is a stain that is more sticky or greasy, use thinner or spirit, available at any paint shop, with the help of a cotton swab to remove the stain.
- Preparing Glass Colors & Liners
- If colors from stock are being used, check whether each and every shade that will be required for the painting has got dried or got densed.
- Densed colors can be diluted with water for water based colors and thinner for solvent based colors; if required.
- Dried liners are of no use. Throw them away and fresh one from store.
- Levelling the surface
- This is also very important as the glass colors will flow to one side and get densed if the surface is not properly levelled.
