Layering |
|
|
| The technique of layering, allows for the addition of depth and dimension to a
piece.
| Because of the transparency of the paint, the layering of different shades of a
colour or the layering of different colours, will result in a multi-dimensional effect. |
| When used on glass, layering will allow for a different colour, or different
image to be seen from the other side. When using glass, please
ensure that the glass will withstand baking. |
| When layering with the same colours, both the intensity and opacity of the
colours will be increased. |
| To obtain a solid opaque colour on glass;
 | First paint on Ivory (No 43), allow to dry |
| Apply successive layers of the desired colour onto the ivory. |
|
| To obtain opaque colours while painting on the back side of glass
| First paint on the desired colour, and allow to dry. |
| Apply a layer of Ivory (No 43) over it. |
|
| This will result in a brilliant non-transparent coverage. |
|
|
| Layering shades of a colour
| layer one
| Using thin layers of paint. |
| Starting with the lightest shade of colour. |
| Start at the bottom of the piece and work upwards. |
| Allow paint to dry. A hairdryer may be used to speed up drying time. Set the
drier to low and hold 6-9 inches away from the item for 2-3 minutes. |
|
| Layer two
