Fearless Friday, Birthday Fun

You don’t have to be an artist to paint a little birthday on a glass, or a jar or on a handmade card

 

 

 

This is a simple “birthday cake” design

 

 

 

A squiggly line

 

 

 

Paint a squiggly line around the glass or across the surface

 

 

 

 

Practice on paper first if you like

 

 

 

Brush strokes will be smoother on glass than on a rougher surface

 

 

 

A squiggle around the base

 

 

 

A row of big polka dots

 

 

 

Birthday candles

 

 

 

Candles need a flame

 

 

 

Use a fat, brush {like #6 round} and start at the base making the flame shape by turning the brush and finishing with a point at the top

 

 

 

If you make a mistake or have a dribble on glass, you can either wipe it right away with another brush, or damp Q-tip, or let the paint dry completely and remove the unwanted paint with an exacto knife

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A row of decorative “icing” is added with angled short strokes with a flat square brush

 

 

 

 

 

Ok, time to light those flames!

 

 

 

Add a quick stroke to the middle of the dry orange flame, then use the other end of the brush to add some yellow dots

 

 

 

Happy Birthday!

Birthdays are very special, celebrate in a big way!

 

Note: be sure to use paint made especially for glass if you want to paint something that will be washed
