BEGINNING GLASS PAINTING
In this
workshop students will learn to mix and apply glass-based pigments. We will cover
pigments, mediums and brushes used in traditional glass painting. The first day
is devoted to the Trace Line. Painted line work, is the foundation of all glass
painting. Line acts as a transition between the lead and the more delicate shading
and tonal work of the matt. During the second day we focus on Matting. Shading,
or matting, in glass painting refers to the technique used to develop delicate
tones to give the illusion of volume to forms. Matting allows the artist to render
the texture of fur or feathers, the subtle folds of drapery or flesh and create
the illusion of the third dimension.
