HOW TO DO CRACKLE PAINTING ON GLASS

USING CRACKLE MEDIUM ON GLASS IS SOME WHAT DIFFERENT FROM USING IT ON OTHER SURFACES.ON OTHER SURFACES YOU HAVE TO USE A BASE COLOUR ANT THEN MEDIUM AND AGAIN ONE MORE LAYER OF COLOUR.
IN GLASS FIRST APPLY THE MEDIUM AND WHILE ITS HALF SET APPLY THE FIRST LAYER OF COLOUR.LET THIS DRY COMPLETELY.NOW YOU WILL GET CRACKS AND SINCE THE MEDIUM IS TRANSPARENT GLASS WILL BE SEEN IN BETWEEN THE CRACKS.SO,WHERE EVER GAP IS THERE APPLY THE SECOND LAYER OF COLOUR.(NOTE THIS WORK SHOULD BE DONE ON THE REVERSE SIDE OF THE GLASS)

HOW TO DO GEMSTONE PAINTING

GEMSTONE PAINTINGS HAVE ALWAYS FASCINATED ME.ITS RICH LOOK AND INTRICACY WILL GIVES YOU A IMPRESSION THAT ONLY ARTIST CAN DO THAT.BUT IT IS NOT AS COMPLICATED AS IT IS.IT IS VERY EASY TO DO,ONLY THING WAS PREVIOUSLY MATERIALS ARE NOT AVAILABLE.BUT NOW IT IS EASILY AVAILABLE IN THE MARKET.

MATERIALS REQUIRED:

• READY MADE PRINTED GLASS(PREFARABLY MUGHAL DESIGNS)MEDIUM SIZE
• GOLD DUST AND CLEAR VARNISH
• NO.000 BRUSH
• GEMSTONE POWDER
• FABRIC GLUE
• FABRIC PAINTS

METHOD:

• MIX GOLD DUST AND VARNISH AND GIVE IT FOR JEWELLERY,DRESS BORDERS,AND WHERE EVER NEEDED.
• AFTER IT DRIES PAINT HAIR,FEATURES OF THE LADY AND VERY SMALLER PARTS(IN SMALLER PARTS YOU CANNOT FILL GEMSTONE,IN MY PICTURE LEAVES ARE TOO SMALL,SO I PAINTED IT WITH FABRIC GREEN).
• ONCE IT DRIES,APPLY FABRIC GLUE IN A PART AND SPRINKLE THE GEMSTONE POWDER(DESIRED COLOUR) AND TAP THE EXCESS.
• LIKE THAT FILL ALL THE PARTS ONE BY ONE.
• FOR BACKGROUND CHOOSE FOUR TO FIVE COLOURS,AND GIVE IT ONE BY ONE FROM LIGTH TO DARK.
