Painting with brushes.
Painted glass is a new trend in all kinds of specialty boutiques. Some painted glass can be very expensive. Learning do it at home can save a lot of money and turn into a fun hobby. Painting a rose on a glass is a good beginner project to learning the art of painting on glass.
Instructions
1. Select your glass. Find a piece to paint that has an interesting shape and appealing lines. Be sure that you like the shape and that you will like the outcome. It will be easier to paint on a glass that has a surface that is more flat than curved.
2. Choose your colors. Because you are painting a rose, you will want to stick to reds, pinks and greens. If you want an opaque look, choose an acrylic paint that offers opaque colors. If you would like a look that appears to be colored glass and allows light to go through, choose a resin-based paint in either glossy or frosted colors.
3. If your item will need to withstand a lot of use and washing, choose a paint that needs to be baked on. If your piece is for decorative purposes only, you can use an air-dry paint.
4. Cut out a pattern of the rose you want to paint. You can either find a template of a rose or draw the roses yourself. Tape the pattern on the inside of the glass. Paint the rose according to the pattern you have chosen.
