NIB PAINTINGS
This Art is created with a pointed NIB....Using glue stick the felt on the hard board. Trace down the design on the felt. Now you are ready to paint the design. Two things should be always taken care while doing nib painting. One, you should always start painting from top so as to move your hand freely towards down part. Secondly, you ould move your hand evenly while doing your painting. This gives the painting a real look.
Decide on the shade scheme of your design. Since the petals are not of the same shade, white and pink paint should be used in good combination to get the double shade. Put the paint straight onto the felt. Press on it or score on the paint using the nib. Wherever a round design is required use the nib with round tip and wherever the small sharp lines are drawn short pointed tip nip is used. Generally long tip nib is used to do the lines. You can also take the paint on the nib and press it against the surface to create the design. You may take 2-3 days to finish off with a design. But do it patiently. You will enjoy this. The design will dry off very slowly, say by 10- days or more. The consistency of the paint is very thick. After the design is fully dried, get it framed.
KNIFE PAINTING
This Art of painting was created with KNIFE...Painting with a knife is a bit like putting butter or jam on bread and produces quite a different result to a brush. Painting knives are excellent for producing textured, impasto work and sweeping areas of flat color as well as tiny shapes of color.
Although there is a difference between a painting knife and a palette knife, many people use the terms interchangeably. I don't see that it really matters. The main difference is, after all, that it's not a brush that you're using to paint with.
Strictly speaking, a palette knife is a long, straight blade or spatula that is used for mixing paints and scraping a palette clean, not for applying paint onto a canvas. A palette knife can be made from metal, plastic, or wood and will either be completely straight or have a slightly cranked (bent) handle.
PAINTINGS
KNIFE PAINTING....A painting knife is most commonly made from metal with a wood handle, and has a large crank or bends in the handle, which takes your hand away from the painting surface and helps keep your knuckles out of the wet paint you've just applied. Painting knives come in numerous shapes (for example pear-, diamond-, or trowel-shaped) and are used for painting instead of a brush. There is, of course, nothing stopping you from using a painting knife for mixing paint on your palette
GLASS PAINTING
LORD KRISHNA done on Glass....There are a wide variety of paints manufactured especially for painting on glass. These can be water-based or oil-based. While the oil-based paints are more glossy and iridescent, a beginner would do well to start off with a water-based paint as they are easier to handle.
The paints may be opaque or translucent. While the former is better suited for conventional patterns like figures and still-life, the later gives an enchanting, shimmering quality to the paintings, particularly used for making sun-catchers. Any one might be chosen, but it is advisable not to use both varieties in the same painting. Each has its own texture and these do not gel.
Glass liners are available, conveniently packaged into tubes. These are again of myriad hues, but a black liner is recommended.
Glass Art

Painting on glass is different from painting on a book. They are different ways to paint on glass, ranging from using traditional oil paints to specialized glass paints. Traditional glass painting is painting done on the surface of a glass sheet. This type of method was followed to add minute details to faces and fold of clothing which couldn’t be added with the lead lines. Traditional glass painting is actually more of drawing than painting.
RAJASTANI PAINTING
The Mughals brought miniature painting, an offshoot of manuscript painting to India in the 14th-15th centuries. It took deep root in what is known today as Rajasthan, hence the name Rajasthani painting. Its implantation in Rajasthan is mainly due to the close political and social contacts between the Mughal rulers of North India and the feudal Rajput princelings who flourished in northwestern India between the 15th and 18th centuries.
Many Rajput rulers and their courtiers were highly cultivated, and their courts were centres where the arts and artists received unstinted encouragement from their royal patrons. This was particularly so of painting, and what began as an offshoot of Mughal painting because in the years between the inception of Mughal rule and the British occupation of India from the 18th century, there was a rich flowering of many schools and styles of miniature painting which have found avid admirers among connoisseurs of art the world over.

Metal Embossing
Most Beautiful art work done with Metal sheet......A beginner's metal embossing art kit typically has a few sheets of metal, a stylus tool, a simple pattern and instructions. The basic techniques for embossing metal include placing the pattern on the back of the metal sheet and tracing the lines with a stylus. A stylus is a tool similar to an inkless pen, but it has a wooden bulb-shaped end. The rounded end helps push out areas on the metal sheet such as an apple in a fruit bowl pattern. The slightly pointed tip of the stylus is used to create lines.
After lines are made with the stylus on the pattern on the back of the metal sheet, the crafter then turns the piece over. The same technique that was used on the front is used on the back to make each line deeper. After that, the other end of the stylus is used to push out parts of the metal from the back to the front. The parts to be pushed out depend on which areas on the pattern would look best rounded rather than flat. Metal embossing originates from the French art technique called repoussage which means "to push back."
The hollows in metal embossing projects may be filled in with paint; some kits come with a set of paints. Embossing paints often have a cloudy look to them that turns glossy and transparent, much like the look of ceramics, after the paint dries. Larger embossed metal designs make excellent party decorations or art pieces to hang on walls. Smaller embossed shapes are frequently crafted for use in scrapbooking such as a metal piece shaped and painted like a cake to place on an album page with birthday photos.
