In the world of fine arts, some mediums don’t just express — they illuminate. Glass painting is one such captivating form where colors don’t just sit on a surface — they glow, shine, and shimmer as light passes through.
Whether you’re a lifelong artist or a curious enthusiast, you are invited into a world where every stroke becomes a radiant story. This October, we invite you to witness this magic in person at our upcoming exhibition in Mumbai.
What is Glass Painting?
Glass painting is the art of applying color to glass surfaces to create transparent or translucent works that come alive with light. Unlike canvas painting, this medium turns glass into a dynamic canvas where colors reflect, refract, and reveal new dimensions under changing light.
A Glimpse into Its History
Glass painting has ancient roots — from the Egyptians’ decorative glass vessels to the iconic stained-glass windows of European cathedrals. Traditionally used in sacred art, it has evolved into a contemporary medium found in galleries, homes, and craft studios alike. From ancient times in Egypt and Rome to the famous stained glass windows in medieval churches across Europe, this art has evolved but always celebrated the magic of light through colored glass. Glass painting has been around for centuries
How to Get Started with Glass Painting
- Choose a clean glass surface (like a picture frame, jar, or old window pane).
- Use specially formulated glass paints that dry clear and vibrant.
- Outline your design with a black liner or outliner for sharp edges.
- Fill in the sections with transparent or opaque colors.
- Let each layer dry before applying the next.
- Display your creation where it can catch the light!
