1) A transparent base like a glass or a plastic sheet. You can even use a mirror, a bottle, a jar, etc.
2) The picture you would like to draw
3) Glass outliner
4) Glass paint
All you have to do is:
1) Keep the picture under a glass. Fix the picture properly with clips or cello tape.
2) Copy the picture to the surface with outliner. Let it dry for at least 2 hrs.
3) When it is dry you can start filling the design with glass colours.
4) Always keep the base on a flat surface. Glass paints are not very thick, so they will flow to a side if the glass is tilted.
5) Let the picture dry for at least 7 days. Guard the picture from dust when it is kept for drying. You can keep the painting inside a closed area like a cupboard.
Now you know the basics of making a glass painting. There are many tricks to make your painting beautiful. I will post them in the coming days.

I used fabric paint for the flowers. Using more than one kind of paint for a picture will enhance the beauty of the picture.

Excellent work. Can you do paintings of dragons too? I had to have someone describe your paintings to me. I am blind.
This one is really good...and about using different paint, it gives a varied texture to the subject painting that enhances the beauty of it.
