paints on glass, how to apply and manipulate the paints to capture your unique painting style,
and finally how to think about depth and transparency to create a cohesive image in three
layers that is full of depth, interest, and life. Your painted glass panes will finally be installed into
a shadow box style frame allowing you to further build depth creating that magical lively quality
that is so unique to this style of glass painting.
