Krishna Mural

I know the picture quality could have been much better.The mural has a hefty frame work and is double nailed to the wall. Clueless about how to click a picture nailed high to the wall and with a mirror background which reflects.Now that all the excuses are said,( which can be expected for almost 50 pictures, since its all dated at least 5 years back.)Starting with being thankful to the guru who taught me,let me mention few things about this mural.

Materials Used:

Glass 4mm thickness-24*24"
A zoomed picture of  any God/Goddesses
Colour pencil-Yelow
Acrylic colours
Craft Clay
Kundan stones- Tear drop,Round -25 each
Fevicol

Method:

Draw the outline of the selected picture using a colour pencil.Plan on the places where clay shapes can be used. Preferably use the clay for the jewelry and colour it. Stick decorative stones over the clay shapes after the paint dries.

Await till the work gets dried. Clean the glass perfectly and paint the face.Acrylic colour dries fast, so need to be quick in finishing it.

Tips: 
Awaiting for the clay coloring's to dry will help in cleaning the stains while working on colouring the face.
Work a base coat for the face.Leave it to dry and repaint to the desired shading techniques.
Choose a picture with simple shading and minimalist outlining requirement while drawing on the glass.
