Reverse Painting on Glass
I started painting a sketch of mine as a reverse oil painting on glass. I used the sketch to design a window nine years ago. In this process, you take a piece of clear glass and flip your sketch to paint it in reverse. When it is done, you flip the glass back over so that the glass faces out and the paint backward. It seems to be another great source of learning that relates to stained glass painting. They both share a reverse order of how you paint.
In reverse oil painting, the highlights are painted first so that they are not covered up by additional layers. In stained glass painting tonal painting, first the piece of glass is covered in paint, the paint dries and then highlights are created by removing paint. The darker tones are created by paint that is left behind.
If you look at how oil painting on canvas was classically developed, sepia tones are painted first. Oil painters call this underpainting. It is a brown sketch used to block in the elements of the painting. Highlights in oil painting are added last with white paints.
When I finish my current painting, I will add it to this site.
Also, I can across someone who paints on glass using high doses of electricity. His paintings are featured in some sci-fi movies and shows.
