Flower vase glass painting..

Hello
This is my first ever online step by step tutorial. This is a commission piece for one of my dearest friends.
I am very excited about it.. So, with this same excitement lets get started... My plain glass vase has finally arrived...Time to open the package....

Materials needed-

  • Glass vase- any shape or size you like. I have used a 8cm cube clear glass vase.
  • Glass paints- Pebeo vitrail. I have used lemon yellow,violet, turquoise, green, orange, pink.
  • Glass liner- I have used Marabu brand purple, gold.. works well..
  • Clean spirit- to clean brushes
  • and of course brushes to apply colours
Method-

Step 1- Draw the outline of desired  design. I have made a free hand design with sunflower as my main subject, amidst wavy lines. Draw on all four sides. Leave it to dry for an hour.


Step 2- Fill in the colours keeping in mind colour contrast. For example,if you paint the flower yellow, dot the petals with red/orange/any dark colour. Fill in each wavy portion with different colours, making sure adjacent colours are different in each wave.



Dot the waves as well... Outline the flower with golden liner above the purple liner already done. This makes the flower stand out form the rest of the design.
Similarly finish all the 4 sides.. 

2 sides done... I left it to dry overnight after completing 2 adjacent sides, as it was inconvenient to do other two without these completely drying...  

Completed other two sides the next day...Voila!!!


I have made all my flowers with different colors and given them golden outline.


This beauty is off to my friend's place...
Hope you enjoyed the project. More to come!!
