Lately I have been doing a lot of painting on Glass in conjunction with Geesobord panels. I find painting on glass to be difficult, but the effect when complete is stunning, as it creates a depth perception when laid over on the panel.
In my upcoming DVD Abstracting the Outdoors: Unlikely Surfaces I demonstrate this technique as it relates to my style of painting. Generally I paint the sky and the body of the water on the panels. Any trees, rock or other objects that would typically be in the foreground are subsequently painted on the glass. Varnishing the glass can be tricky, as the paint has a tendency to lift off, but I am finding the end result is usually very good. I am currently working on a bigger piece in this style. Check back soon to see how this comes out.
