Krishna glass painting

I am back again with another glass painting. I just loved the way it turned out. I was going to use glass colors but i ended up using acrylic paints. I started with glass paints at first but it was too thin and translucent, I wanted it to be more towards opaque. I gifted it to my friend at their house warming ceremony. I found this design on easycrafts blog. I am very happy with it and my friend just loved it. She has proudly displayed it in her informal dining.

Decorating stairs

Whenever I climbed upthe stairs at home, I felt that the walls were very plain and I have to do something there. I did not want any family photographs as most people have on the staircase wall as it is a small area. I wanted something contemporary and lots of colors. I thought that I will do small canvas paintings but then I found these beautiful square glass paintings on the internet and decided to do them. They came out very nice and I am quite happy with it. At first I had trouble finding square glass frames, found them in dollar shop. They were plain yellow wood but I painted them black. I also got couple of packs of glass paints in there which is a bit weird as I havent seen glass paints in dollar shops before.

World famous architecture glass painting series

I was quite fascinated by the art of glass painting. It looks like its impossible to produce beautiful art work on glass. It looks harder than it actually easy, infact its a lot easier to paint on glass than on canvas :)
I tried few small glass paintings before I took up the challenge of doing something big such as world famous buildings. My first big one was world famous Taj Mahal. I found crystal art blog very useful. It has so many variety of glass art and techniques are explained very well in detail along with the material required.
It took me quite a while to find the right frame. Its not easy to find glass here and framing is very expensive. Finally I found the right photo frame and started with the first one with gold, unfortunately after two, I ran out of gold so thought that it would be good if I missed silver so restarted the third one with silver. I ran out of silver too, so I did the statue of liberty with gold. I quite enjoyed doing this, I completed this in 3 week nights and I am quite happy with the final product.
