Im painting my first fish tank and was looking for inspo didnt even think about the mechanics of it at all. More so was looking for the best way to preplan reverse imaging since im painting on the back of the tank which will be reviewed from the front. I normally paint acrilic on canvas but have been having luck with unconventional painting tools such as woodem blocks popsicle sticks and textured sponges the brushes really arent laying on the pigment well especially with longer strokes even when loaded down with paint. Im also still using acrylic paint on the glass and plan to seal with modge pudge so if i wish to change the image later i can simply razor it off with paint thinner. Im working with a 75 gallon so quiet large for a first project. Preplanning for small details before even knowing how exactly the painting will fall into place with the larger shapes is quiet a challenge lol so far i got a sunken ship painted and did a mossy over grow but it just doesnt lay right on how the paint layers together and this small detail drives me nuts. Do you have a video that goes over creating dimension to make the paint idk pop in a way that shows the layering and doesnt lay so flat. I dont have this issue on canvas.. 🤔 any tips? How does the paint your using compare to acrylics paint? Does the pigment go on thicker? Keep a fresher look? And does it require the firing?
Wow! I've learnt more in this one video then I did when I went on a 2 day course. Fantastic. Thank you for your generosity. Now for the next video to watch . . . I have now subscribed!
I'm Brazilian and I work with stained glass, but I don't know many techniques. Here in Brazil stained glass is not very popular and it is difficult to find materials and tools to work with. I'm learning a lot from your videos and hope to become a great stained glass artist just like you.
More about kilns for glass. A good size that can be used for many projects without spending too much starting out. 2nd liquid glass & combing it to get different textures. I saw the petals in tiffany windows & the petals look like there curved. How can I do this? So many questions. Thank you for sharing your knowledge DH.
Omg I can’t believe I’ve just discovered why my paint was drying out so fast on my light table.....my glass pallets don’t have feet! Thank you so much for this informative video🙏 regarding rigger brushes, do the need to be sable hair or imitation sable? So looking forward to watching more of your videos :) 👍
Hahahaha! Feet are the way forward 😁 I usually buy synthetic hair brushes which are great. Amazon is a good place to look as well as the suppliers listed in my description 👍🏼
Glass paints are fired at approx 650 degrees centigrade and silver stain is fired at approx 620 degrees centigrade. Fire straight up to temperature and hold for five minutes then switch kiln off.😀
My father was a painter and a amateur handmade violine maker. He passed away recently and he had a lot of painting brushes. Would they be sutable for glass painting as well or there must be some special ones? Thank you! 😊
I think it would be great to experiment with your fathers brushes to make marks on glass. You may wish to also buy some specialist glass painting brushes as well. If you go to my web site www.DerekHuntArtist.com you can download a free PDF with details of the brushes and paints I recommend for glass painting. 🙂
Hi Deanna, window glass will fire in a kiln just fine, as long as it’s not over fired above its melting point - around 790c. Mostly you will want to paint on coloured glass. This can be any 3mm or 4mm thick coloured glass which can be bought from a stained glass supplier. Hope that helps 🙂
I have been following along and am experiencing the influence that materials have on the work. What kind of glass do you suggest for painting ? And with that in mind are there any suppliers who you, are comfortable pointing us towards?
My apologies. We are in the U.S. where clear float glass is available through many local commercial shops doing windows and the like - and that may work. However, as I consider colored glass and staining I wonder about other kinds of stained glass, and/or fusing types we should consider. Many thanks in advance. @@DerekHuntArtist
@@shawnmatsonatpriory unfortunately I don’t have experience of suppliers in the US. However I have seen a very interesting flat glass maker in the US called Fremont Antique Glass. Instagram link here Fremont instagram.com/fremont_antique_glass?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Lamberts glass is also excellent and available in the states. 🙂
Hi Jeffrey, I clean my brushes with a weak detergent and water, something like a liquid detergent used to clean dishes - or you can use a simple cheap shampoo if it’s not heavily perfumed. There are brush cleaners on the market specifically for cleaning expensive brushes used by model makers etc. but I haven’t tried them. Let it dry naturally.
I've never bothered to subscribe to anything... you're the first! Thank you for your videos! Could you please tell me about brush care when using the Reusche paints? It seems like you'd want a dry/clean badger brush whenever doing the softening, but that you also wouldn't want to let paint with gum arabic stay on the bristles too long, so you'd want to wash it often? Is any regular brush cleaner for water-based paints fine? Thanks! :)
Hi Cindi, so glad you’ve subscribed to my channel, it really helps ! Regarding cleaning badger brushes, I wash them with shampoo and left them dry naturally. I also use separate badger brushes for stains, paints with water medium and paints with oil medium. Silver stain is corrosive so cleaning your equipment with water immediately after using is very important . Hope that helps 🙂
Hi Charles, depends on what you’re firing. Paints are fired at about 650c for 10 minutes and stains are fired at 620c for 2 minutes only. Hope that helps 🙂

Nobody ever says what kind of glass- am I dumb for thinking my stash of regular window glass would crack or melt in the kiln?

You recommend Vista Brown to start with. Is that a Reusche paint? Is it a transparent or opaque? Enamel or stain? I can’t find it in the US
Hi Joanne, its called Bistre Brown and its a Reusche vitreous glass paint. 🙂

Sir, how do you maintain or clean you badger brushes? Wash with water, let it alone etc…?
Hi Jeffrey, I clean my brushes with a weak detergent and water, something like a liquid detergent used to clean dishes - or you can use a simple cheap shampoo if it’s not heavily perfumed. There are brush cleaners on the market specifically for cleaning expensive brushes used by model makers etc. but I haven’t tried them. Let it dry naturally.
Thank you Derek, just getting into craft and appreciate your work and make the tutorials… I hope to pass on the art to the next generation!
