Stain glass painting

 I get so much of pleasure coming up with new projects for our classes, finding the right balance between challenging and enjoyable: some are extremely successful while others fall into the what was i thinking category: this one was a mixed bag but the end results are wonderful. Glossy, vibrant, colourful, and fun.

We have done quite a bit of canvas painting in class so this was a nice change.

First step: online designs in black on glass. We used paint in tubes too get nice thin lines, its important to have lots a connecting lines to get that stained glass feel This part  was a bit tricky for little hands and messy: but we managed. Let dry, which took a few days.

Painting with watered down acrylic paint. Some kids used less water for a more solid and less transparent colour.

Next we sealed the design and I framed the work with another piece of glass: so it remained see-through. Looks fantastic on a window sill or against a white wall.

Pretty Cool!!!
