Hello! I'm new to mosaics and I was curious about the color behind the wings of the dragonfly. Do you paint your background in sort of a color block manner when you're using transparent tesserae? I just discovered you this week and am excited for all of your videos!
Yes, I painted the substrate behind those wings before I laid the glass. I probably would not do that on an exterior mosaic as the paint might fade over time.
Great works! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I can’t wait to see more on that flower mosaic!
I know, right? More favors = more work.
Great idea! I didn't know you could do that!
Thanks so much!
