Studing under Cappy Thompson for a joyful week of intensive focus on Grisaille Painting. This is the type of painting you see on ancient stained glass. Its a Grey and black line that is painted with lead paints and then fired into the glass. Its a dangerous medium require careful handling of materials. The results are a timeless.
Here you see Vigilance painted inside of a long column vase.
Here you see Pot Belly Stove Painted backwards into “Tin” Glass. Their is only one side you can paint upon so you have to use a UV light to see which side the glass was made upon and then use the “clean” non-tin side to paint. If you want a real treat go visit Cappy’s Site at www.cappythompson.com you will see that see was commissioned to do the Seattle Airport Glass wall. Its a huge installation and done in the same style as these examples.
