Painting under glass is a difficult artistic technique that is executed directly on a sheet of glass. The glass supports the paint like a canvas. Thus the glass serves both as a support and as a protective varnish. It is a “cold” painting technique so the process does not require baking. The pigment is bound to the glass by an oily vehicle most often based on varnish.
