Basically there are two types of stained glass paintings. One is where glass pieces are etched and stuck on a thick sheet of glass completing a pattern; and the other is where special paints for glass are used to create the desired design. Thus, depending on the medium of glass artwork, the stained glass patterns vary.

The patterns that one can create on glass could be something that represents nature such as birds, animals, insects, flowers, trees; an entire scenery like the countryside, a village, etc. Then one can work on people and situations. For instance it could be a glass painting of a well-known public figure. Most Indian glass artists prefer ethnic and traditional themes such as paintings of the Gods and Goddesses, etc. ~ Author Karishma Bajaj.
