Stained glass and stained glass door staining glasses again come into fashion. Real stained glass windows according to traditional technology is a laborious business that requires special skills (both technical and artistic).
But at home, you can use the simplest technology of stained -glass art. For this, it will not be necessary to make special lead veins to fix multi -colored glass.
The home stained -glass window is based on a drawing applied to a regular transparent glass. Aniline dyes or polyvinyl acetate dispersions are used for drawing on glass. If the proposed palette of colors does not suit you very much, and you want to diversify the flavor of the selected pattern, you can add colored mascara or ink to the coloring composition. Having basic spectral colors at hand, the remaining shades are easy to get, mixing paint among themselves.
So, before proceeding with the painting on the glass, it is necessary to create a pattern on paper in the size of the glass canvas. Paper pattern is fixed under glass. Before applying the paint to the glass, its surface must be treated with a saturated soda solution or acetone.
First, the contours of the color are drawn. Moving with a thin brush in accordance with the contour line on the pattern placed below, try not to touch the glass with your hand so as not to leave fat spots there. First, all contours of the same color are circled, then the other, third, etc.D. When the paint is completely dry, the stroke should be repeated again or two so that you form a kind of shores that rise above the glass.
When the circus of the circuit is completely dry, you can paint the glass itself in the necessary tones. In this case, the painted canvas should be strictly in a horizontal position. For convenience under the glass, you can install the backlight.
The paint in the islets between the lezels is applied by the bay method, then neatly and evenly distributed along the glass within the limited area using a soft brush. At the same time filling several neighboring areas is undesirable. Give the paint to dry for two hours. Only then apply paint in a nearby island.
One layer of color coating is enough to create a stained glass. But so that the stained glass window is served longer and is less polluted, it is best to cover the drawing with a second glass.
By the way, the second glass can be used to create volumetric patterns. To do this, the main background is made on the rear window, and the main elements of the picture are made on the front. Only draw on the second glass you will have to in a mirror reflection, since the glass painted by the side will be installed inside the binding.
