I like that you pointed out that water based paint and solvent based paint can be used on the same project as long as they are used in different areas.
It came out so nice When you started putting the white paint in the end I was worried it was being ruined I didn't know it dried clear but what a beautiful outcome really made a big difference. Thanks for your time and sharing your knowledge. I been wanting to do this for quite some time. God Bless
I like the piping bag idea. I didn't catch what mixture you used in your black. I may be doing the technique where you make lines with glue on the glass. Let it dry. And color it with a marker. People tell me it doesn't have to be perfect. More realistic that way.
I learn sooo much from your videos!! Thank you. I've bought lots of Pebeo Vitrea 160 paints & mediums & outliners. I don't want to deal with toxic fumes from solvent based glass paints. Is there anything compatible w/P.Vitrea 160 paints that could be used in unpainted spaces to create the textured effect of the Gallery Glass Window Color Clear? Also, some of the items I want to paint are suncatchers (on clear or opaque plastic shapes), lanterns that the glass can't be baked cuz it's not removeable, & other decorative items that won't get washed or put into the dishwasher. I'm wondering how colorfast/fade resistant & scratch-proof/durable, etc., items painted w/P.Vitrea 160 will be?? Does Pebeo make a water-based Vitrail glass paint? Does it need to be baked to be dishwasher safe? Thanks in advance for your help!! Happy painting!!
That came out AWESOME…..all 4 panels!!! What is the name of the white stuff you used at the end,I like that look and want to get some WELL DONE FROM THE 🇺🇸
The paints I used were Rainbow Glass solvent based paints which are no longer available. I now use Pebeo Vitrail Glass paints which are of similar quality (and less smelly!). They are a strong, flowing glass paint making them suitable for this type of work: ua-cam.com/video/zgOjl1jOuKE/v-deo.html
Really sorry for the delay in responding. All the outliners are shown on this page: www.glasspainting.co.uk/glass-painting-questions/are-all-glass-painting-outliners-the-same or here are a couple of other ideas: www.glasspainting.co.uk/glass-painting-equipment/make-outliner-glass-painting www.glasspainting.co.uk/glass-painting-equipment/using-dimensional-fabric-paint-as-outliner
I am assuming (and it is still an assumption at the moment as I am testing) that the paints marketed as dishwasher-proof will also be weatherproof. So the two ones I know of are both oven bake paints, Pebeo Vitrea 160 and Lefranc & Bourgeois Glass & Tile Paint. If you take a look at my latest video I have created an outside stained glass window using the Vitrea. ua-cam.com/video/RNEdyCeKUVg/v-deo.html
Thank you for your kind comment. Unfortunately the brand I used in this project (Rainbow Glass) is no longer made. I now use Pebeo Vitrail glass paints. They are very good BUT I do find a few of there colours a bit dark. I always buy the lightening medium which makes the darker colours lighter. www.glasspainting.co.uk/glass-painting-equipment/pebeo-vitrail-glass-paint-review Hope that helps.
Awww thank you ever so much. I'm finding it so difficult to find the the stuff you put on glass to make it look frosted. Your UK like me I assume from your accent, where do you buy yours from? as all I can see is from USA. Thank ever so much. :)
I have at times got it on both Ebay and Amazon but it is getting quite rare. I am experimenting at the moment with some clear drying PVA glues. Will let you know how I get on.
What I should have added is, I have had good results from using 3D Fabric paints as an outliner, especially with the flowing paints (had mixed results with thick peelable glass paints). You might want to look into that as the £D Fabric paints are readily available in the UK and come in lots of different colours. www.glasspainting.co.uk/glass-painting-equipment/using-dimensional-fabric-paint-as-outliner
Amazing. I need to watch all your videos and learn how to do this the proper way. I’ve used water based and a brush but I hate the brush strokes and its opacity. I’m from across the pond, but I’m guessing that solvent based paint is alcohol based? I’m glad you showed how to remove an unwanted spill. What if you drop a bit of paint in a finished and dried section? By the way, is the finished product cleanable without rubbing off the design?
Hi, thank you for your comments. " What if you drop a bit of paint in a finished and dried section?" As long as you are quick and the previous colour (color) is totally dry then you should be able to remove it with a quick wipe with a paper towel. You don't always get every spec which is why I tend to start with the darker colours and work my way towards the lighter ones. (A spec of a lighter colour on a darker on won't show up as much as a darker colour dropped on a lighter one!). With this paint is can all be wiped down but it shouldn't be soaked. It you want something to be totally wash proof (like a wine glass) then I recommend using one of the oven bake paints such as Peber Vitrea 160. Good luck with your glass painting
I want to work on stained glass projects but I'm looking to find cheap ways to do it without using real glass and avoiding any toxic materials. I work in a classroom and I'm not allowed to use real glass due to it being a safety hazard. Also, I can't use any materials that could be considered toxic. On top of that, we have a limited budget, so I need to find materials that don't cost much and try to buy them in bulk of possible. If you know any ways to accomplish this, I'd love to see a video on that. This craft would be really great to do in a classroom. I can think of a lot of project ideas that revolve around using stained glass. Thank you!
I would suggest using waterbased peelable glass paint (either bought or make your own)). You can then make window sticker or work on plastic (recycled). Have a look at these videos: ua-cam.com/video/NL_QQCe5Xgg/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/5r0jwDNGd78/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/Foz24fPNUmY/v-deo.html Hope that helps.
The outliner I used in this project is actually a bought one. It is possible however to make your own. Website: www.glasspainting.co.uk How to make your own outliner: www.glasspainting.co.uk/glass-painting-equipment/make-outliner-glass-painting Hope that helps.
Sorry, I'm not 100% sure exactly what you mean by texture in this case. Generally you want your work to look as flat and smooth as possible so it resembles glass.. The clear "mottled" look on parts of this lantern were obtained by using a thick, clear water-based glass paint and applying it very roughly. I think the specific paint used here was Crystal Clear Gallery Glass by Plaid. Hope that answers your question but if not please do get back to me.
This is beautiful. I have an idea for a glass panel I would like to make. What is the name of the product in the white bottle? I really appreciate your technique. Nice work there.
My apologies I should have said. It's Gallery Glass Window Color, Crystal Clear. It comes out white but will dry to give that clear mottled look. Good luck with your project and thank you for the kind words.
Many thanks for your question. I start with a square of greaseproof paper about 17cm x 17cm (7"x7") It really only needs to be approximate. This video will show you how to fold it correctly: ua-cam.com/video/Ksei85DSQSM/v-deo.html Hope that helps. Bob
This is the sort of thing you want. Must admit it doesn't seem as readily available in Canada as it is in the UK (where you can pick it up in any local supermarket). www.ebay.ca/itm/Norpro-Unbleached-Waterproof-Greaseproof-Reusable-Baking-Paper-73-Sq-Ft-2-Pack/392058582708 (not saying you HAVE to buy that one, it's just an example of the type of stuff you need).
This is mostly made with solvent based paints so there is no need to seal it. It can be wiped down but not soak washed or put in a dish washer. If it were going outside I would seal it with a coat of clear yacht varnish (doing a small test first to ensure the varnish and the paints were compatible).
In that case I would recommend a clear waterbased varnish. Something like this: www.amazon.com/Pintyplus-Art-Craft-Spray-Varnish/dp/B07QMX2ZXT As always please do a patch test first just to make sure.
That is "Outliner", "Liquid Leading" or "Cerne Relief" (they are all different names for the same thing). The particular brand I was using was Gallery Glass by Plaid (but the brand isn't really important). If you look in our videos list you will see a review of a few different types. Also, if you want to do it like me from a piping bag then there is a video on how to do that as well. Hope that helps.
Hi, sorry I really should have done this before. The Outliner is "Plaid:Craft Gallery Glass Liquid Leading Black". The paints are solvent based glass paints by Rainbow. Unfortunately these are not longer available but a good substitute are the solvent paints by Pebeo which are Vitrail Transparent Glass paints. The mottled effect was created using Plaid Gallery Glass Crystal Clear glass paint. Hope that helps.

Could I glass paint my porch light? That would have an electric bulb? Does the painted glass go on the inside? Or outside? Would it sustain the heat from the bulb? I have just bought a new lantern for my porch and would love it to be different from the rest of the estate..in the old days you could buy coloured ones...
I know a couple of people who had heat issues with the "old" wattage bulbs but haven't so far come across anyone who has had an issue with the newer low energy ones. They tend to give off a lot less heat. If the lamp is exposed to the weather then I'd be tempted to paint the inside of it. An alternative would be to do the outside and then give is a coat of a clear yacht varnish but you would need to test this first to ensure it didn't react with any paints you used. Hope that help. (Just as an after thought. Another way to do the outside would be to use one of the dishwasher safe paints. These tend to be the ones you bake in the oven so you would have to be able to separate the lamp from it's glass. I've never done it but surely a paint which can withstand going through the dishwasher should be able to put up with a few shower! Pebeo make one which I mean to try in the near future. )
I really love these videos... ... but sometimes the background music is too loud, making it hard to hear and understand you... (Please leave out the background music, even though it is beautiful music, it is unnecessary for a tutorial... I just want to HEAR You teach this wonderful tutorial.)
I you right, some of the music is too loud epecially in the earlier vodeos. I've tried to quieten it down in the more recent video. As it's a new year I'll try doing the next couple of videos without any music at all as you have suggested, and see how it goes. Many thanks for the suggestion.
This was created using Plaid Gallery Glass outliner and Rainbow Glass Paints. As the Rainbow glass paints are no longer available I would recommend using Pebeo Vitrail transparent glass paints instead. The designs can be downloaded off our website. Hope that helps.
Hello from the Colonies! I'm in the research phase of my project making panels that will sit inside the sliding windows of my coversion van. Of the dozens of videos I've been through so far, yours has been the most helpful! Therefore I have subscribed to your channel. I'm going to be working with plexiglass® because of the planned location; will these techniques work with that Medium specifically the solvent-based paints? Any help or input will be greatly appreciated! Thank you for the video, and sharing your experience!!!
Hi Capt. Rich, hope hope all is well (Downunder?). I have never had an issue with any current solvent based paint on Plxiglass, acetate, plastic etc. Many years ago I did have an issue with a cellulose based paint but the particular brand (along with others) has been discontinued as unsafe! You can always test if you are dubious, before you launch into a large pieve of work. I would recommend using one of the harder outliners which unfortunately tend to be the ones in tubes (Pebeo or Marabu should be fine). I'm saying that because I assume it may need to put up with a bit more punishment that objects kept at home (temperature, condensation etc). (As opposed to the peelable/soft outliners I tend to used in my everyday work). Finally you can always seal the piece with a clear varnish if you want to. It can make the finish piece look a bit "different" but it is by no means a "bad" effect. Again a little test will show you want it's like. (The tests can double up as a bit of practice!).
Glass Painting No sir, the states. I do have friends down there, and have one really good friend that's a Kiwi! I just got back from checking my local hobby house they don't have much of a selection, could you perhaps suggest an online source? Or have you already put that in the description and I wasn't paying attention??? Thank you again; and thank you for your quick response!
Whoops got that a bit wrong didn't I . Well hello from over the pond :-) Amazon seems to have a range of solvent glass paints: www.amazon.com/s/ref=a9_sc_1?rh=i%3Aarts-crafts%2Ck%3Apebeo+vitrail&keywords=pebeo+vitrail&ie=UTF8&qid=1511303516 I expect you will get them on Ebay as well. Perhaps cheaper.
Glass Painting LoL, no problem it's partly my fault. After that I googled "do the British call the US the Colonies" I thought I had heard that somewhere; apparently according to Google it's an old tongue-in-cheek joke. Anyway, I will get on that; thank you again and have a wonderful day!
this is really cool, but even with your video playing on double speed you are taking way to long to explain things dude. have faith in the intelligence of your audience.
I actually like the way this is done. I was looking for a teacher,not just a tutorial. I find this wonderful for actually learning how and why things are done a certain way.
Thank you Jay. I think I can tighten up on things a bit and have done to some extent in the more recent videos although I still tend to get carried away at times :-) I shall try and keep it balanced!
I like that you pointed out that water based paint and solvent based paint can be used on the same project as long as they are used in different areas.

Hi, thank you for your comments.
" What if you drop a bit of paint in a finished and dried section?"
As long as you are quick and the previous colour (color) is totally dry then you should be able to remove it with a quick wipe with a paper towel.

What do u seal them with after they dry?
This is mostly made with solvent based paints so there is no need to seal it. It can be wiped down but not soak washed or put in a dish washer.
If it were going outside I would seal it with a coat of clear yacht varnish (doing a small test first to ensure the varnish and the paints were compatible).

Finally you can always seal the piece with a clear varnish if you want to. It can make the finish piece look a bit "different" but it is by no means a "bad" effect. Again a little test will show you want it's like. (The tests can double up as a bit of practice!).

No sir, the states. I do have friends down there, and have one really good friend that's a Kiwi!
I just got back from checking my local hobby house they don't have much of a selection, could you perhaps suggest an online source? Or have you already put that in the description and I wasn't paying attention??? Thank you again; and thank you for your quick response!
Whoops got that a bit wrong didn't I . Well hello from over the pond :-)
Amazon seems to have a range of solvent glass paints: www.amazon.com/s/ref=a9_sc_1?rh=i%3Aarts-crafts%2Ck%3Apebeo+vitrail&keywords=pebeo+vitrail&ie=UTF8&qid=1511303516 I expect you will get them on Ebay as well. Perhaps cheaper.

LoL, no problem it's partly my fault. After that I googled "do the British call the US the Colonies"
I thought I had heard that somewhere; apparently according to Google it's an old tongue-in-cheek joke.
Anyway, I will get on that; thank you again and have a wonderful day!
Ah we certainly do but because of our over active ancestors it can apply to several countries :-) Not sure why I guessed at Australia though!
this is really cool, but even with your video playing on double speed you are taking way to long to explain things dude. have faith in the intelligence of your audience.
Yeh a good comment and something I will work on.... believe it or not I did cut out a fair bit!
Thanks for taking the time to make the suggestion.
I actually like the way this is done.
I was looking for a teacher,not just a tutorial.
I find this wonderful for actually learning how and why things are done a certain way.
Thank you Jay. I think I can tighten up on things a bit and have done to some extent in the more recent videos although I still tend to get carried away at times :-) I shall try and keep it balanced!
@@GlassPainting thank you 😊
