Getting Started with Gallery Glass®
Glass Painting
The Modular Method (click for how-to photos)
Any window or glass surface in your home can be enhanced using the versatile Modular Method. Using the Modular Application, the design motifs are leaded, painted, and cured on the Leading Blank surface. When they are dry, they are then peeled up and placed on the window or other glass surface, such as vases, (they automatically adhere to the glass with static cling). If you are decorating a window, you then use Redi-Lead strips or cured Liquid Leading strips to create borders, connect the designs and finish the window mural design.
The Modular Method allows much more versatility than the vertical method. If you don't like the original placement of your design, you can pick it up and move it to another position.
The Vertical Method (click for how-to photos)
Gallery Glass window color may also be applied directly to your vertical surface, such as windows, vases, candles, etc.
Please note that vertical application requires either the use of Redi-Lead or pre-made and cured leading lines created with Liquid Leading. Liquid Leading should never be applied directly to a vertical surface. Once the leading lines have been placed on the glass, Window Color paints are used to fill in the pattern designs.
The Direct Horizontal Method (click for how-to photos)
The Direct Horizontal Method is used when you wish to use Liquid Leading™ and apply it directly to the project surface; such as when creating art panels, frameable art, and flat ornaments.
Gallery Glass Styrene Blanks and Suncatcher Blanks are ideal surfaces for window and frameable art. You could also use a piece of glass from a picture frame.
