Glass Painting Techniques

Classical glass painting - how you can trace, shade, flood & highlight (front & back) in a single firing & why you need a lump of paint to do this (not a teaspoonful). Learn more about this downloadable guide to classical stained glass painting right here. Firing less saves you time and money. But it also means your glass looks better. Comes with 9 video demonstrations so you see exactly what to copy

Advanced glass painting with oil - how you can use oil to shade slowly & also easily & still do all your glass painting (front & back) in a single firing. See here for oil-based stained glass painting - that's oil on top of unfired water-based paint, it's easy and the effects are beautiful. Includes how to paint a stained glass head and 14 online demonstrations

Silver stain and oil - how you can trace, blend, shade & flood from a reliable batch that keeps for months (and why water or vinegar are no good for this). Don't waste your time and money with water or vinegar - use silver stain and oil as explained in this technique-packed guide and 8 online videos
