PAINTING...& other stuff.....

0ne of my favorite forms of painting, its simple n doesn't involve a lot of hard work. Perfect for lazy ppl like me. Plus I've always liked learning an art form that does not involve a lot of materials. 

• Just get a nice glass piece with smooth edges. Wipe it with a dry cloth & use a glass liner (pref black) to trace your design very carefully on the glass.(you can get glass paints & liners from any art store or stationary shop). Leave the liner to harden (for a day) & you can color the design using the paints. Water-soluble paints spread easily so you have to be quite careful while using them. Thick paints with min water can be used freely cuz they don't drip a lot.
• You can also use other colored liners to brighten the design. Instead of using normal glass, you can use textured glass to give a different look. There's loads of stuff you can do using glass paints.You can try decorating glass bowls, plates, trays etc....they make good gifts. 

Here's an idea....you can use OHP sheets instead of glass. Draw your design on it, color it n when its dry, peel out the liner carefully so that the entire design comes out & stick it on your window or any cupboards that have a glass door.....when the sunlight falls on it, the entire design will gleam. I've done the same with the picture on the right. Try it out, it's quite interesting plus kids will love it.
