Academy Award winner Joan Gratz works with clay and oil on glass. She paints
the plasticine with tools and her hands on the glass, and the images carry
great detail and texture constantly metamorphosizing from one image to the
next. She explains:
“One of the virtues of painting with plasticine clay is that it has tangible
dimension and unlimited textures. It has that handmade quality because
it is. Because I am painting and making changes to the same canvas, the
images seamlessly flow into each other.”

Sand is a very flexible medium to animate on glass. This can be lighted from
the bottom or top or both, depending on the effect desired. Many animators
use sand to block out bottom lighting. The sand is brushed and stroked
with tools or by hand on the glass surface. The thinner the layer of sand, the
more light can penetrate the sand, giving edges a feathered look. The more
dense the sand, the more opaque and black the image appears. Caroline Leaf
describes her approach to sand animation:
