tile mosaic techniques

Tile mosaic techniques involve arranging small pieces of tile, glass, or stone to create images or patterns. Artists typically start by sketching a design, then cut tiles into shapes. Adhesive is applied to a surface, and pieces are carefully placed, often using a grid for guidance. Once the design is complete, grout is filled between the tiles to secure them and enhance the visual effect. After drying, the surface is cleaned to reveal the artwork. Commonly seen in flooring, walls, and art pieces, mosaics can vary widely in style, from detailed portraits to abstract designs.
