Glass Colours on Canvas

One of my favourite pastime activities besides art and cooking includes craft work too!!! This time during the summer vacations I decided to organise a craft workshop,the activities of which I am planning to post one by one so that everyone sitting at home this summer can utilise their time in a fruitful way.

On the first day I started with Glass colours on Canvas which is pretty simply and looks beautiful. The same colours can be used to paint on glass or stick glass peices on canvas and pour paint on them to create a wonderful item. But I didn't want to take risk with the small ones and hence decided to keep it simple on Canvas.

Here is how it goes....

Materials required:-

One Canvas board

A set of Glass Colours (I used Camel)

Carbon paper

A pencil

Pallette

Any medium sized paint brush

A piece of Cloth.

First, select any design for your canvas and trace it out with the use of a carbon paper and pencil. Once the pattern is on the canvas,use the liner provided in the glass colour kit and outline the entire drawing on canvas and let it dry for about 15-20 mins.

Then start filling the glass colours according to your taste. You can either pour it directly if you think you have control over them or else can use a pallette and brush,but remember glass colours are not easy to be removed from your pallete!!!

Once you are done let it dry for sometime and frame you beautiful painting for display at the favourite spot of your home!!!
