Astounding. This is my third time to watch this video, and I get more out of it each time. It is so impressive to watch that my brain stops hearing the words and I’m making involuntary comments, oohing and wowing. Next time I will hear more of what is being said, but it is just so beautiful to watch this…
seeing is believing .. it is incredible !! So nice to see this !! Made me think of how Blake must have been working in candle light to make delicate work . This is so great.
Waoooo me emociona tanto ver esta belleza 😢😢😢 hasta la lagrima se me salió, me estremece ver tanto talento y tanta generosidad al compartirnos estos momentos de creación, GRACIAS ❤❤❤ ESTO ES LA MAGIA DEL ARTE!!!! QUE ALIMENTA EL ALMA
Excellent work, Derek I like your version better and the reason is it’s stronger and reads more clear. I’ve always had a problem with Victorian era painting on glass is that the faces don’t read very well at a distance, I think your version is an improvement. Ken Napa California
This is great. Watching this was fascinating, actually your video works pretty well as ASMR - would love it to be longer. I have one question, to me the new face, until about 6:25 was without a doubt a male face. Then some part of the process was skipped and I saw a female face. Honestly I can’t say what changes in the painting brought this transformation? Something about the eyes?
Being able to successfully execute that oil layer is my life quest! I think I'm too heavy-handed as it always pulls up my half-tone layer. You make it look so easy!
Calming and impressive work! How do I go about learning how to paint this type of portraits on glass? I recently got into stained glass with a special attraction toward the liturgical style which seem to be filled by these beautiful portrait features.
The best way you can learn is to spend time with a good glass painter and get them to teach you. That can be either within a private studio environment or as an online course. There are not many college courses anywhere these days teaching traditional glass painting unfortunately.
Looking forward to this, I've always wondered how to get those nice soft and fine lines. Theres lots of tutorials on very bold line work but the finer stuff is harder to find!
Me ha encantado ver cómo trabajas, te quedó precioso, muy interesante, deseando tener mi horno para intentar seguir tus consejos sobre el vidrio. Como puedes aplicar dos capas seguidas sin cocer la primera sin que se estropee? Gracias!
@@felisarequena you can carefully paint trace lines on top of a shaded layer before firing the glass. You can also add an oil shading layer if you are feeling very brave!
Really good to watch Ive been doing copper foiled work for a while and have just started leaded work but for my most recent piece I've done some painting too (big step for me as Ive never done any kind of painting other than perhaps re-glossing a skirting board 😂) so it's very new to me watching this video gave me some great ideas on how to get more depth to my painting so hopefully il be able to attempt some more complex things in the near future. Thankyou for sharing your work and techniques
Question: I understand how the gum arabic would keep the first layer in place when you apply the oil medium. Are you then working your shading on the wet oil layer just applied? Thanks for your videos! I've learned so much from you and loved your interview with Ellen!
Great outcome, I didn't think that the linework on the face was going to be done that way! I really like the look of old glass with the subtle green tint, is it one of the tatra tints that you're using for this?
What king of glass did you use? Are there truly that many varieties that were used over the ages in all these churches. Being, so many different countries might have been the sources as the artists were not local artists in many of those cases
Hi Sarah, I used Lambert’s handmade glass for this project. The glass is known as a pot metal tinted antique glass, which means the colour goes all through the glass. This is different to a flash glass, which has a thin layer of colour on one side. With regard to painting on glass, you can use most types of glass including clear float glass, opal glass, fusing glass and machine made glass. If you are just starting your glass painting journey I would suggest using clear float glass, which is not expensive and can be bought locally. Hope that helps 🙏🙂
Wonderful! That's very helpful. I was under the impression that float glass was quite a bit thicker than the standard 3 mm glass I would be using for the rest of the piece. Do you recommend, for the beginner, looking for thinner (3mm) float glass so everything is uniform?
sfumato, (from Italian sfumare, “to tone down” or “to evaporate like smoke”), in painting or drawing, the fine shading that produces soft, imperceptible transitions between colours and tones. This is another way of saying “blending tones together” which is what can be achieved using the oil layer technique 🙂
@@DerekHuntArtist agree. The reason for the comment is that the trace lines and overall look of the original piece seem “smoother”. It’s not a critic : it’s me trying to find how they did it .
Do you have any issues with the paint and oil creating dots or little clumps once the paint settles? When I use this method (and any oil method), it looks smooth at first but once it settles, there’s debris or something in the paint creating these spots. Thanks for the great videos! -Kristina over at Foster Stained Glass
Yes getting contamination in your paint can be a problem. Once I've mixed my paints I always cover the mixture with a cup to protect it from getting lint or dust in the paint. Also, if there is too much oil in the paint mixture it can become a bit too greasy and you might see blemishes in the paint as it settles. Try to make sure the paint is kept clean of dust etc and there is not too much oil in the paint mixture. 🙂
Really nice info...i am from India doing glass painting and really struggling for many years and wondering how to finish the piece in less firing cycles. Do you stipple after flesh tint wash?
In this case the flesh tint was applied across the face area with no stippling, however it is possible to add highlights to this flesh tone by stippling or sticking out highlights 🙂
Do you happen to know if I can use my powdered china paint pigments for this process? They sure seem to be one of the same! I mean I often use lavender oil as a medium but could surely switch to water or gum Arabic as the medium. This is my big question since I have so many vials of China paint powder already
Hi Joy, you might want to experiment with a sample of your china paint pigment to see how is works on transparent glass. The melting point of sheet glass is around 700 degrees centigrade, so your pigments will need to fire correctly below that temperature. Also the pigments need to have some transparent quality to them, or they will just look black in transmitted light.

Thanks so much for your feedback. The face is a little androgynous for sure!🙂
I have wanted to take a painting class for 10 years. I make stained glass. Thx for sharing.
You're very welcome!
Thank you so much! This is absolutely fabulous and so easy to understand.
Glad it was helpful!🙏👍🏼
Whew excellent! I'm very much a beginner when it comes to glass painting. These uploads are great, I'm working up to taking your online course.
You can do it!
Outstanding work. I wasn’t sure how it was going to work when the first step was to paint it black. Thank you for showing the whole process.
Glad you found it interesting !🙂
Bravo Derek!!
Thanks Sean!
WoW!
Thank you 🙂
Wonderful art!! Can one use solvent glasspaints to get a human face like this ?
You won't get the same results using solvent paints unfortunately
Thank you so much for the information, I am from Massachusetts, USA, and enjoy your channel immensely.
Great you have your support Kathy! 🙏🙂
Being able to successfully execute that oil layer is my life quest! I think I'm too heavy-handed as it always pulls up my half-tone layer. You make it look so easy!
You may find it easier just to fire the trace and shading layers first before applying the oil layer 🙂

Hello thanks for this video. I Will put on practice some of your tips. Can you tell me what are you using for the flash tone.

Question: I understand how the gum arabic would keep the first layer in place when you apply the oil medium. Are you then working your shading on the wet oil layer just applied? Thanks for your videos! I've learned so much from you and loved your interview with Ellen!
I fired the trace lines firstly before applying the oil layer. The shading was done when the oil was wet - it stays wet for a long time. 🙂
Great outcome, I didn't think that the linework on the face was going to be done that way! I really like the look of old glass with the subtle green tint, is it one of the tatra tints that you're using for this?
I think it was Lambert's glass!
@@DerekHuntArtist Thanks, just had a look, they have some lovely heritage green tints
@@youngyvidz716 yeah, it’s great glass!
Wow amazing ❤
Thanks glad you liked the video!
I have small damaged painted window, can you glue small sections together to keep originality. Then add that into lead came.
Yes you can edge bond glass pieces back together again, if you have enought glass to do that. :-)
Do you fire the paint in a kiln?
What king of glass did you use? Are there truly that many varieties that were used over the ages in all these churches. Being, so many different countries might have been the sources as the artists were not local artists in many of those cases
I think it was most likely a Lamberts handmade antique glass, but can't remember off the top of my head.
Derek, what type of glass is this you use? i read that its Lamberts, but what type of glass should I use to begin painting on?
Hi Sarah, I used Lambert’s handmade glass for this project. The glass is known as a pot metal tinted antique glass, which means the colour goes all through the glass.

Yes 3mm float glass is usually ideal for practicing with as it’s easy to get hold of and not expensive!
Derek: is it possible that the original used the “sfumato” technique?
sfumato, (from Italian sfumare, “to tone down” or “to evaporate like smoke”), in painting or drawing, the fine shading that produces soft, imperceptible transitions between colours and tones. This is another way of saying “blending tones together” which is what can be achieved using the oil layer technique 🙂

@@ikust007 🙂
Just before the oil At 4:50 the text overlay indicates a first firing has taken place. What temperature and time is used?
Paints are fired at 660 degrees centigrade and soaked at that temp for 10 minutes. Stains are fired at 620 for two minutes 🙂
Do you have any issues with the paint and oil creating dots or little clumps once the paint settles?

Let me know how you get on👍🏼
Will do! Thank you so much!
O tom de pele vc passa por cima da de mão de sombreado sepia?
If I remember correctly the skin tone was made with a very thin layer of Debitus paint called “Brun Ton Char”
Really nice info...i am from India doing glass painting and really struggling for many years and wondering how to finish the piece in less firing cycles.

Awesome work Derek.👍 As a matter of interest, how long did it take you to reproduce that painting?
Hi Dean, I made three versions of the head and they took about a week or so to make and film.

Конечно оригинал выглядит лучше. Но вы старались.
FAIR, it's almost impossible to get this perfect, I guess.
