Cinderella: A Tragedy

Just imagine…
You make a painting taking great efforts… You waste a lot of colour trying to make the perfect colour tone… You finish the painting and you get immense satisfaction that it looks good… you show it to your dear ones and they are full of praise for your talent… you preserve your painting… nothing should fall on it… and it should not fall down… days flies away… you think nothing can go wrong now…
Then… tragedy strikes.
You had made another painting… you had kept it with your previous painting… when you take them out of their safe place you see that they are stuck together. Two creations destroyed together...
Well, I don’t have to imagine such a situation. It has happened to me. Not once but twice. The above painting, which I named 'Cinderella', had stuck with another painting. I had to do some patchwork on it, but I was able to restore it.
So the tip for the day is: Never keep two glass paintings together. Glass paint and outliner are super sticky. When you try to take apart two stuck paintings, the outliner and colour will peel off. So you have to be very careful and try to avoid this situation by storing paintings separately. And get them framed as soon as possible.
