- while painting avoid bubbles do not shake the bottle before painting.Still if bubbles persist than burst it with a pin immediately.This is a tough job to do.If many small bubbles appear,carefully try wiping the paint from the glass using a cotton bud.Bubbles form void space when the paint dries thus spoiling the finishing of your painting.
- Always work in ample light so that u can see even the minutest details in your painting.Keeping a white paper underneath your glass enables you to see the design without much strain.This helps u to see the colors properly too.
- Do not expose the painting in direct sunlight or harsh lighting conditions as the colors may fade.
- Keep the painting dust free for its long life :) You can use the sandwich method in framing your painting to keep it dust free i.e.,u can place another thin glass on your painting and sandwich your painting in between glasses (only after drying).
- while framing you can use the sandwich method or keep a white board at the back or place crushed aluminium foil to give your painting a glitter.
- while taking out your painting for framing ,do not use cloth or paper to cover it instead u can either keep another plain glass (sandwich method) or bubble plastic sheet.
- Buy small bottles of paints if you do not paint regular user to avoid the paints from drying.
Glass Painting Traditions in India emerged in the state of Gujarat in the beginning of the 18th century. Chinese artists who had settled in the region influenced the local traditions of producing glass paintings. The glass paintings were noted for their sheer brilliance, stunning clarity and use of rich colors.
