Definition & Bedeutung von "paint-on glass animation"

What is "paint-on glass animation"?

Paint-on glass animation is a technique where artists create animations by painting directly on a sheet of glass. The paint used is often slow-drying to allow the artist time to make detailed changes between frames. The animator applies paint to the glass surface, then captures each frame by photographing it. After each shot, the paint is adjusted or changed slightly to create the next frame of animation. When the images are played in sequence, the painted scenes appear to move smoothly. This method allows for fluid, painterly effects and is known for its rich textures and unique visual style.
