SAILBOAT - A STAINED GLASS PAINTING

The same design gets an entirely new look,

perspective and appeal when

we change the colors and textures...

In another post, this same sketch 

looked different...

In this piece , I used frosted glass

and some matte shading technique...

and what a difference it made!

SAILBOAT - A STAINED GLASS PAINTING

Usually stained glass paintings 

show off bright and eye catching colors...

In this painting I stuck to pale shades 

especially the water and the skies 

get a unique water color effect 

with the deft use of mild shades 

of blue,brown ,pink and orange ...

This shading lends its own

magical touch to this piece....

and the frosted glass base 

adds to the effect!
