The process
The design phase
I have templates in my computer for the glasses that I currently use for painting caricature cartoons on. I pull up the appropriate template and design my cartoon in Autodesk Sketchbook on my Cintiq Companion.
After I am happy with the design and/or the client has approved, I then start the process of cleaning the wine glass off with soap and water, then dry it and clean it again with rubbing alcohol.
Once the glass is clean, I measure out the area I want the drawing to be placed on and check to ensure the template that I have printed out is to the proper size.
I then, as a guide, place the template inside the wine glass. I use a cloth to push the paper up against the curvature of the glass.
The next step is, using the template as a guide and using the appropriate paints for multi surface, block in the colours required for the painting.
I find that multiple coats are required to make the colours opaque and smooth. Some colours go on easier than others but I find if I add a tiny bit of white to each colour, it makes it easier to apply. I can always add the full colour in after.
Once I am happy with the blocking in, I use my magnifying light and start to add the details.
After all the details are done, I go over the painting and scrape off any excess paint with an exacto knife. I also inspect the painting for any required touch ups.
The next step is to pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F and put the cup in for 30 minutes. After the time is done allow the glass to cool off in the oven before handling. This step cures the painting and allows glass to be washed without losing the artwork.
That's it. Here is the finished painted wineglass with the happy client... in this case my Mom lol.
Here are some other examples of wine and beer glasses.

ReplyDeleteI'M NOW FULFILL FINANCIALLY BECAUSE OF THE LOAN I GOT FROM LFDS .I would like to bring this to the notice of the public about how i came in contact with LFDS after i lost my job and being denied loan by my bank and other financial institution due to my credit score. I could not pay my children's fees. I was behind on bills, about to be thrown out of the house due to my inability to pay my rent, It was during this period my kids were taken from me by foster care. Then i set out to seek for funds online where i lost $3,670 that i borrowed from friends which i was rip off by two online loan companies. Until i read about:Le_Meridian Funding Service (lfdsloans@outlook.com / lfdsloans@lemeridianfds.com) somewhere on the internet, Still wasn't convince because of what i have been through until a relative of mine who is a clergy also told me about the ongoing loan scheme of LFDS at a very low interest rate of 1.9%% and lovely repayment terms without penalty for default of payment. I have no choice than to also contact them which i did through text +1-989-394-3740 and Mr Benjamin responded back to me That day was the I'M best and greatest day of my life which can never be forgotten when i receive a credit alert of $400,000.00 Usd loan amount i applied for. I utilized the loan effectively to pay up my debts and to start up a business and today i and my kids are so happy and fulfill.
