New Project!!

Anatomy has always been a interest of mine, for a short time I thought of being a crime scene investigator or work in a morgue. These things never came to be, but my dad works in orthotics and this insight into such a fascinating and skillful job has only added to the intrigue of human anatomy.
As a third year student you are given several projects to complete, one of these is called 'Personal'. This project seemed the perfect opportunity to indulge myself in the world of anatomy and really brush up on the thing that I love,  traditional glass painting.
I have been mainly looking at Medieval to Victorian anatomy and I have taken stand out images and recreated them on glass. I hope to create a series of small miniature paintings, to larger pieces that will have more than one focal point. This is a project that really excites me and is a great excuse to immerse myself in glass painting. This is not only a chance to see what I can achieve, but also learn and achieve a bigger knowledge base in glass painting.

Here are a few small samples on glass painted with brown/black pigment in clove oil.
