Tips for the beginners



For cleaning the glass: Clean your glass with Dry cotton then with Glass cleaner or thinner or with water. (Cleaning Fluids / Thinner / Glass Cleaning Solution or Nail polish remover can also be used.)
Keep this handy while you start: Cotton Buds & Cotton roll (Cotton buds are invaluable for mopping up the Mistakes while painting.)
Glass, Mirror, Clear Plastic, Acetate Sheets (transparent sheets) or Bottles can be used as painting surface.
A blade or a craft knife to remove the unwanted thickness from the outline.do not scratch the glass hard as u end up leaving scratches on the surface.
A design or pattern that u desire to draw. Beginners start with designs having wide areas to paint rather the very intricate designs.
Take care of your hands from the sharp edges of the glass while painting .You can stick cello tape on all four sides of the glass n remove it once u have finished painting.
Stick the design with tape on the corners and make the outline of the design to avoid position changes. Remember the design should be of mirror image. Now do the outlining .You can use black colour outliner or any colour of your choice.
The outliner takes 10 to 20 mins. to dry. Start painting with the colors only after it dries.
