glass painting for beginers

* glass painting for beginers, is a place to start what is a beautiful and expressive art form. The best part of being a beginner is that the mind is open.

* Open to possibilities. And the possibilities are endless. The only thing you need to start this artform is an idea. The more simple the idea is, the easier it will be to complete the painting.

* With your basic idea in hand, you will begin by painting the details of the very last thing that entered the picture in your mind. Just the details.

* When that coat of paint is dry, you can paint in more of the main subject. One way to do it is one color at a time. This is a atep by step process, and if you don't like something that you put in the painting, you can erase that part to do over.

* This is a forgiving artform. In that, I mean that it can be changed and revamped to suit your own needs.

* Once the main subject of your painting is on the glass, and dry, the background is painted. You want the background to recede, to move away from you. So don't put so much detail there.

* Another way to subdue the background is to mute the brighter colors by adding a small amount of gray and brown to the paint.

* Glass painting for beginners is all about 'thinking out' the painting. Allow each step of the painting dry completely before working on it again.

* There is nothing more that I would like than to let you know how rewarding and fun glass painting for beginers is!

* Glass painting for beginners is for adults as well as kids. All one need be is a beginner, one who hasn't started yet. This is 9 year old Rachel. She is one of the young ladies who tested the first beginners’ kit for me, and is in the fourth grade. I spoke to her on the phone afterward to see whether she liked it. She was so excited that I didn’t get too many words in, how ever, I did hear “I loved it!” a few times.

* Rachel told me that her 7 year old sister did have difficulties, but but it was only with the reading. They had a lot of fun, and painted a few of the beginner kits. These paintings look like success to me!

* Little brother wanted to help, so he did his part. How is this for a great beginning?

This young lady is 7 year old Emily. She is in the second grade. I was floored by what she did with the frog! This is what a 7 year old can do with the help of her older sister reading! Emily, it's as beautiful as Rachael's painting. Thanks so much to the two of you, your father, and your grandmother for taking the time to try out my glass paintings for beginers!
