Hey Mark, thanks man. How are things with you guys? Hope you’re keeping nice and busy 🙂
@@DerekHuntArtist .......All good sir..
Thanks
You’re welcome 🙏🙂
I'm not so good at drawing, but I'm going go have a go at this and see where it goes. It looks fun!
Awesome!🙂👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much. I was having problems getting detail. I think it was because I did not mix my enamels properly. I do hope you are feeling better.
Thanks for your support Jeanine 🙏🙂
I really enjoyed watching this! I never knew how this look was achieved so thanks for sharing Derek. Fabulous pieces to inspire too!
That’s great news! Really glad you found value in the video 🙏🙂
I've used a pen quite a bit, but I mix the paint with water. It does cause issues when crosshatching since it dries so fast. On the other hand, you can go back with a scrub or pick or X-acto almost immediately to make corrections or pick out highlights.
That’s interesting Chris. I fine water and paint don’t work as well as oil - but hey, if it works for you that’s awesome!
Hi Derek. Thanks for this video, did learn alot! And the results are awesome. Off-topic: Can you recommend some books about stained glass; about its history, about the different kinds of glass, etc?
Yes I can recommend some good books - might make a separate video on that at some point 🙂👍🏼

no gum Arabic is needed when clove and lavender oil is used?
I purchased all these things some time ago after watching your video, and forgot to use them. Now after watching your video again, I will try it soon! 🥳
Yes, no gum Arabic used in the dipping pen paint mixture. Good luck and let me know how you get on with it🙂
Really enjoyed this - inevitably I have questions! If you add too much or too little oil can you just adjust the mixture (leaving for 24 hours), and when drying it out in the kiln 50 degrees centigrade I presume. Thanks again for sharing your big glass brain!
Hey Rex, yes if the mixture is too oily just add a bit more paint and leave for 24 hours. 50C temp for drying paint in kiln is good 👍🏼 Let me know how you get on 🙂
Great video Derek and really helpful. How long can the mixed paint be kept in the liner jar for?
Hi Isobel, it can be kept for months. The paint just gets better and better the longer it’s left in the oil, so just make sure it doesn’t dry out over a longer period of time. I tend to use a batch over a period of 2-3 months then make some more 🙂👍🏼
Hello Derek ,thank you for sharing your amazing knowledge. Do you know of any work around for not having a kiln
Not that I know of
You really need a kiln if you want to paint on glass. However, you can use printing on acetate are a work around for small experimental windows. Have a look at this tutorial ua-cam.com/video/sQop_sSRhxA/v-deo.html
One more question: Is oil preferable to glycol in the dip pen?
Yes I prefer oil to glycol
Hello from Indiana! Enjoy listening to you very much. I actually did do what you suggested for mixing paint for dip pens.
It’s going fairly well! I am getting nice “short” lines. My mixture fired beautifully. However, I am not getting the amount of paint to flow as you have. Would you please offer any instructions as to what to do?
It’s very coincidental that I am working with the exact same lion picture😸. I really wanted to combine the dip pen with a rigger.
And my name is Ann Willis. My husband’s name pops up.
Hello Ann, good to hear from you. So you may need to experiment with adding more oil to the mixture to help it flow. Also do use the same pens I suggest as not all dip pen work as well. You can find a link to the exact pens in the description below the video. Good luck and let me know how you get on. 🙂
Hi Derek, fabulous video! Do you not add any gum for dip pen?
Hi there, just clove oil and lavender oil mixed 2 to 1 ratio works - no Gum Arabic required. Glad you liked the video ! 🙂
your approach is very gentle. the glass and the composition balance quite nicely. what is the temp that you bring to? 1250?
Hi Suzanne, I fire silver stain to 620 c for two minutes. 🙂
Hi Derek great video can I ask a question, when you went from the line work which you had used oil as your medium and you went on to shading did you fire the lines first, and in the shading did you mix yet paint with gum or do you only use oil ?
I fired the pen lines first, then shaded with water and gum Arabic paint shading and fired again 🙂
Any suggestions on what dip pen nibs work best please
Below the Dipping Pen tutorial video there is a description which includes a link to the pens I recommend. Here's the link ua-cam.com/users/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbmszWm1ualRhTHVsb3dqYXo4OHNnZ3FwYU4wd3xBQ3Jtc0trLTN2M3lJSS1jTXJoUmNFMXpWV3o1dlNCLWlvT3d4bmNWd1pUemh6ZVdhOFNhbV9XUWZucy1GcUE4Qm5TRTI1Z1RaRGVockd1RkJQTlF2LWJJWFlLNjdhbzUtN0pIdmlhNkNBdUsxYkx1MHVvTmtJRQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Famzn.to%2F3AS16na&v=m7dtCi-KAPg
Hi Derek. Great video. I work with fused glass. Would this technique work with enamels? I need to use something that is food safe on much of my work.
I have only used glass paints with the nib, but I see no reason you couldn't use enamels as an alternative. You will have to experiment with the mixing medium to get it to work with a dipping pen. Enamels have a different consistency to paints, they are more chalky...
Derek, just bought some pens from your Amazon store - thank you. Do you use an under coat on the glass, and separately, do you use gum arabic in the undercoat? Thanks!
Hi Joenic, I don’t use an undercoat or gum Arabic with a dipping pen, just draw directly onto the glass with the paint mixture and two parts clove oil to one part lavender oil.
@@DerekHuntArtist Thanks. I'm ordering some right now via your link.
@@joenic4303awesome!
Hi Derek - really great videos, thank you. I am keen to try this as I’ve only ever done brush work, but, I’m unable to use lavender oil as anything lavender = instant migraine for me…. Do you have any suggestions for a substitute or would just clove oil work? - I’m unclear on the reason for the benefit of adding the lavender. Thank you - keep up the great work!
Hi 33moggy, Glad you get value from the videos. Try using clove oil without lavender, or you could experiment with using propylene glycol as the carrying medium for the paint. Good luck and let me know how you get on. 🙂🙏
@@DerekHuntArtist thank you - I shall try that… 👍 Perhaps an idea for another video may be money saving tips in stained glass creating eg. How long to store mixed paints for and how, reusing dried paints etc?? May be well received in today’s climate!
@@CMmosaicsNglass great suggestions, thanks 🙂
(Google translate) to make lines I use black grisaille, I don't use Reusche products (they are not sold in my country). Can I add clove oil and lavender oil? I prepare the black grisaille with flux and manganese oxide. Thank you
Hector I would encourage you to experiment with lavender oil and clove oil to see if you can get some good results. 👍🏼
Hi Derek, many thanks for the videos, they are extremely useful. I am just about to buy some tracing black to start glass painting, however, I note that it is 'toxic' (Cadmium, lead etc) and have seen some glass artists use masks/respirators when using it. I see you don't, so what is your take on whether this is necessary?
Hi Tony, great question. I use a face mask to protect myself from toxic glass paint dust, however dust is generally created when the paint is dry and you are removing parts of the paint from the glass surface with a scrub brush or a badger brush. The general principle is use a mask when the dust might be sent into the air around the piece you are working on - usually this is when the paint has dried on the surface of the glass and you are removing parts of it. When the paint is wet there is less chance of creating dust. However, there is no reason why you shouldn’t wear a mask all the time, including when you are mixing dry paint with a suitable medium - just be aware of the potential risk and take precautions. Good practice is also to wipe down your work surfaces and floor space with a damp cloth or mop on a regular basis to keep dust to a minimum. Air extraction is also an option if you wish to remove the dust from your work area 🙂
@@DerekHuntArtist Many thanks that is great advice. I notice that non-toxic versions of these paints are made by the same manufacturer but can be difficult to get hold of. Do they work as well as the toxic versions? Don't think I've seen non-toxic silver stain though.
@@silver_stained I haven’t used the lead free paints but my impression is they are not quite as good as the full fat version !
As you mix the paint with the oil in the jar, how do you know what consistency it is, am I aiming for a thin cream consistency or thicker before leaving it for 24hrs?
You have to experiment when the consistency. When you first mix it you can add more oil than you need, but after letting it slake for at least 24hours you can take some of the surface oil back out with a pipette. Too much oil in the mixture will make the line faint and not a nice strong black, but too little and it won’t flow from the nib. As I say, experiment 🙂
@@DerekHuntArtist can I ask another question, when using high fire enamels is it possible to do my trace drawing and matting, fire then paint my enamels and fire again higher or is it best to use low temperature enamels? It sure is a learning curve but I so want to get it right, regards, Jo 😘
@@jorose6093 yes, just use your high firing enamels after you fire your vitreous paint layer.
Do you sell ready made ink by any chance?
Great question Penny, but I don't sell the ink unfortunately.
Just wondering what painting schedule you use . i understand this could be different for my kiln and my glass paint mixing .My 1st experiment I followed the bullseye schedule but the paint seems to have melted into the glass !!!!
Depends on your paint. Reusche high fire vitreous blacks and browns are fire straight up to full temp around 650 centigrade and held for 10 minutes then allowed to cool naturally. 👍🏼
Thanks for this. It will help me considerably 😊
Awesome! Glad to help you🙏🙂
