Glass paintings




These are not actually “glass” paintings, since I’ve done them on OHP sheets. Yes, the one used to separate pages in record books. I got this idea from the Malayalam magazine Vanita and found it useful for a beginner like me. The only drawback that I found with using this sheet is that larger paintings cannot be done since these sheets come in one standard A4 size.Two designs were traced from the hobby ideas book, the bird from a crayons box, the diya was our rangoli design at school (we won the first prize that year :)) and the ladies was my own art. For the coloring I made use of solvent based glass paints. This being my beginning in glass painting, I didn’t want to spend too much on the framing and did them myself using cardboard.
