GLASS PAINTING BY ANGELA WATSON

Marilyn Monroe - hand painted onto clear glass
Hello - my name is Angela Watson and I am from the UK. Some years ago, myself and my friend both tried glass painting while our little girls played together.
I went on to have another daughter, and the glass painting afternoons were put on hold.
A year ago I took it up again, starting with a black and white photo of my eldest daughter and painting a version of it onto glass.
Friends and family commented on the painting, and inspired me to try my hand at different styles of glass painting.
I started to sell some of my work on eBay and decided to set up my own website.
Pieces of my work now feature in private collections across the UK, in the USA, Norway and Spain.
My advice to anyone wanting to try glass painting is keep it simple for a start, then experiment, experiment, experiment! The great thing about glass painting is if you really hate what you've painted, just wash it off and start again!!
Good Luck !
