Gather Your Materials
Wine glasses
Enamel Folk Art Paint – White
Enamel Folk Art Paint – 2 Blues
Enamel Folk Art Paint – Black
Enamel Folk Art Paint – Orange
Silver Sharpie (optional)
Rubbing Alcohol
1 thicker paint brush
1 thinner paint brush
Preparation
I always start right before I paint with wiping down the surface of the glasses with rubbing alcohol. It will dry within seconds, and you are ready to paint.
The second thing you always want to do when painting glasses is Only. Use. Enamel. Paint. If you use anything other than Enamel, it will not last.
Start Painting
I am free handing but if you feel better, you can draw a circle (or trace a circle) with a silver Sharpie and then paint the white circle.
Then do the same for the top ball. The top ball will be a little smaller.
Next is the hat. I started with the light blue and while it was still wet……
I came back and added detail with the dark.
Next is the scarf. I started with the light blue and then added dimension and detail with the dark blue.
with my thinner paint brush, I took my black enamel and added the black charcoal eyes.
And orange outlined with black for the mouth..
And the charcoal mouth with the black…
For the arms I used a mix of brown and black and enamel paint…
I painted the coal for his buttons the same way I painted his eyes.
You are finished with the snowman. I painted 2 different ones for this set for a customer.
Once the snowman is completely dry you can come back and paint the snowballs.
Snowballs
Again, I start by wiping off the glass with rubbing alcohol without wiping the painted part. Just making sure all surface is clean from my fingerprints again before adding paint.
I take my smaller paint brush and dip a little in the white in the paint and make dots all over the glass of different sizes.
These snowballs add such a nice touch and give a little texture for a great grip on the glass.
Video
Here is the video on how I painted them if you want to check it out! Not in this blog but in the video is my favorite way to paint a snowman face…
