You won't need 3D glasses to see why it is such a favourite.įormulated for Airbrush use, but may also be hand brushed. Most of the hard work is in the design.With elements of blue, cyan and magenta undertones, this 3D Glasses paint has a stunning finish for those looking to add an oil slick, reflective look to their models.
This may mean you have to move any hangers on to the frame itself.Īs I said earlier, the actual glass painting involved in this 3d Glass Painting project is quite simple but the possibilities in the design are endless.
The simple alternative is just to leave the back of the frame open so thenatual light comes through. I chose to to put lights and a sheet of reflective silver board at the back then close the frame up. When the paint has dried you can build up the layers in your 3d frame using the bubble feet (or alternative) to separate them. Once the outliner is dry paint each of your layers. (Your back layer you can either paint or do with the transparent film). Put each under your sheets of thick film (glass, perspex etc.) and outline them. If you you chose just to leave the back open you won’t need them. The following may be needed depending on how you decide to do the back. Obviously it will need to be the correct colour for your design). (If you chose to do your background this way.
A sheet of adhesive, coloured, transparent film. 3 or 4 sheets of perspexs, plexiglass, thick film or even glass (cut to size). For your first 3d picture you may want to stick to either my design or one of the ones in The Complete Guide to Glass Painting. That meant I could move things independently on each layer and print each one off seperately when I had finished. It was created on a single picture but used layer to seperate off each level. I did this by creating the design in gimp. The main work, if you are doing your own design, is in sorting out what is going to go on each level and how it is going to be placed in order to make a complete picture. The actual glass painting involved in the project is fairly straight forward. Any flowing paint would be OK (and an outliner which goes with it). Similarly you don’t have to use the same outliner / paints as I did. Basically any design with “depth” would be good”. I did think about rolling hills or a deer in the woods. In fact it took me quite a long time to decide what to do myself. If you are lucky enough to own a copy of “The Complete Guide to Glass Painting” by Free and Gear you will find 3 other ideas for designs in there, complete with designs.Īs is usual with this type of project you don’t have to stick to my design. This is a really interesting type of painting as 3d glass painting open up a whole new area of work.
