Beautiful, Derek. This is so helpful! As always, thank you for your generosity in sharing your depth of knowledge and talents to make sure these techniques are not completely lost to history.
Amazing work as always. I had to rewind and watch again to catch the '1st fire complete' message as I was a tad confused how that oil layer plus paint worked having missed it the first time through.
Can you have a painted glass window instead of a leaded stained glass? I have an open porch, with a small piece of glass in the front door; around 10" x 8" in hammered toughened glass to prevent break-in. I want to paint a scene on plain toughened glass with proper glass paints of course but I wonder if it would look silly?
@@DerekHuntArtistThank you for responding. The paint I have is Pebeo Vitrea 160 designed to bake on glass at 160 C for a permanent fix. Maybe I should experiment first 😁 The thing is, in your expert opinion does painted glass look awful for small window?
There is one product called Pebeo Vitrail that you don’t have to fire, but if painted while the glass is vertical and not horizontal, it will run downwards. I’ve found it also smears out as it dries, so painting a scene or portrait or whatever, the detail gets lost. It is oil based and requires mineral spirits to clean your brushes. My apologies to Derek- I know I wasn’t asked and it may be that this product is only available in the United States (assuming you are in Great Britain by your accent). Just wanted to pass that tidbit of information on as it may help their situation. I was wondering if you could take your skills and apply them to a glass piece using the pebeo Vitrail glass paints. I’ve been trying to see if I could but haven’t spent too much time trying yet. I’ve just done some quick preliminary trials so far. What I’ve found I have said above to the OP. Where there is a will there is a way! ..hopefully. Anyway, thanks for sharing your expertise! The restored piece is fantastic!
@@freddiebiscuit9703 I haven’t tried that type of paint so can’t really advise. Perhaps try some out as an experiment before you buy all the range of colours you want to use. Let me know how you get on!

Yes, easy to get mixed up with all those layers !!
Lovely! Thank you for sharing!

Hi Derek- any update about your video on template-taking? I can’t wait to see that one!
It’s on my to do list!😀
Very nice to see your steps
Thanks so much!
@@DerekHuntArtist i would love to see the difference in working with the two types of silver stain. 😊
@@erikwinklersilver stain can be tricky to work with !
@@DerekHuntArtist i have heard about that. It is pure chemistry and they succeeded in it during the middle ages. Amazing!
@@erikwinklersilver stain was first used to colour glass yellow in 1308 or 1309
Is painting mostly done on clear float glass?
Mostly I paint on coloured glass, but often use clear glass when teaching glass painting as it’s a lot cheaper. 🙂

Traditional glass paints have to be fired to 650 degrees centigrade in a kiln, so unfortunately you can't just paint them straight onto the glass.
