Painting on Glass

KAZUMI IKEMOTO

The technique is how to describe pictures drawn on the stained glass of the church. I spray enamel on glass and draw a picture while acquiring the light and shade by a writing brush.
I can make the mysterious world when I describe it in this method when I maintain light..

My technique is

1. Preparing play glass or vessel shape of blown glass.
2. Spraying the enamel on surface of glass by air brush
3.using stippled technique, which is dabbing on enamel, should be a light and gentle stipple
4 Using shading or sweeping technique, which is paint in the direction of the area, becomes too darker.
5 Removing the matt can be described as painting with light (highlighting)
6 Firing
7 After firing some areas may appear too light or too flat, Since the first matt is permanently fused into the glass, the second coat can be applied and wiped off and applied again until pleased with the results.
