Historic Copy

 

 

A close look at some studies I did for a V&A historic copy. I picked a Flemish Roundel from the 15th century and recreated it. Here is a close look at the initial painting tests. Brush stroke, highlighting and stick work are really important in glass painting, as you want to be able to control the light. These tests allowed me to not only see the marks that were made on the original figure, but how heavy to apply the paint and how much to take away.
