Reverse painting on glass

 

The reverse painting on glass has been in practice in Europe for many Centuries.

The process of reverse painting on glass is unique.

 

On canvas, paper or wood, the artist roughly sketches her painting, then adds colour, shadows, reflections to then conclude with the final touch.

This means that as soon as the artist starts his painting, he must have in mind, the final version in its finest detail, of the image to be created.

 

With reverse painting on glass, the artist proceeds backwards. That way, the artist starts with the details to finish off with the background.


Furthermore, when the artist executes his works, he must think backwards since what is painted backwards on the right becomes the right way on the left which makes it reverse painting on glass.
