Glass Painting.....My Long Time Dream

Glass painting...! How it will look like if a painting done on glass. Yes, I was first attracted to the word few years back. I mean in 2004, I planned well to attend the class but dropped the idea immediately when my final year projects make my life the busiest ever.

So after such a long break, I've started again and this is how it begins. The image peacock comes on my mind when I think about painting. So I googled the peacock drawing and printed it in a large scale paper. First I sticked the paper on the other side of the glass window, So that ease me to follow the drawing line to paint. The paint for the glass is specific. You cannot use normal paint. It is advised to use Vitrail Pebeo (oil based) or Vitrea Pebeo (water based and must baked for permanent use). You can get the colours at Creative Cottage, 3rd Floor, Amcorp Mall, PJ. or Creative Heaven, 2nd Floor(top of TGIF), 1Utama Mall, PJ. The price range RM17.90-19.90.

This picture was taken after the paper stick on the other side.

The outline was done. I used black as the main and gold for the small part which they said the eye of the feather. And the brown color for the tree branch done.

The leaves are greened. The gate is yellow. The feather was coloured with blue, green, yellow and the middle part was used with gold.

The feather part done and waiting for turquoise.

The body was done with blue. The long feathers of the wing was coloured with turquoise. Pearl white was used for the flower. The painting now was fully finished.

After drawing the image, the outline paper has been taken. This photo was taken from inside at night time.

This photo was taken from outside. So when the inner was bright u can view like this. And at day time it will like this when u see from inside. This view can be seen before you enter my house main door.

I am so happy that I had finished the drawing. I don't have any experience in glass painting and this was my first project. Thanks to Barathi akka, who motivated me to go for what I desired and accompanied me for the glass paints purchase. Thanks to Abg Zahir, the owner of Creative Cottage who gave guidance and advised me to choose the right color. Thanks to my lovable parents, who always looking at me when I'm painting and encourage me with words and question such as, "it will be beautiful after you had finished...!", "i can't wait to see the full painting..", "have you finished painting..?", "i think this color will be more nicer..!" And thanks to Rishi my bro, who criticized , commented and gave some idea along the painting process. My long time dream has come true today...:) And I always adore and smile when I enter my house now.
