Thank you so much for such an instructive, practical and eminently watchable tutorial! My local auction house has been passing on unsold glassware to me as I couldn't bear the thought of it all being thrown away. My husband has recently complained however, that you need the constitution of a mountain goat to climb over all the boxes in our front porch, so he will be thrilled to hear that you have inspired me to get my paint brushes out at last. He might be less thrilled to hear that I've just ordered practically my own body weight in Plaid multi-surface paints. Tsk, a minor detail - nothing is going to dent my new-found enthusiasm! Thank you!!
@susie….same here. My hubby too keeps complaining abt the things I keep collecting to recycle 😅 Anyway…. All the very best for yr new found enthusiasm 😊
Because I haven't used oil paints, I looked into this a bit, and I think that it might be a little difficult to use oil paint on glass that is dementional because of the lengthy drying time. It might be worth trying on flat glass, ( like a picture frame or mirror), if you had a safe place to leave it for a while to air cure. I hope this was helpful. Thank you for watching.
I have painted on metal in the past and have found that letting it air- dry for several days works just fine. If it is going to live outside I might seal it with spray sealer. No need to use the oven. Thank you for watching.
This could be for a couple of reasons. You might need to load more paint on your brush so the bristles are not touching the glass as much. It might also be helpful to switch to a softer brush. Hang in there! This took a lot of practice for me to get right. I hope this was helpful.
Absolutely great. So very helpful. And u r a great artist.

HOW COME WHEN I PAINT ON GLASS,I HAVE TO PUT ON 3 COATES TO GET THE LEAVES TO LOOK LIKE YOURS AND YOU ONLY HAVE 1 COAT.I USE THE SAME PAINT ALSO?
