What I like about it is that I can do many small test pieces in a relatively short amount of time. I, too, have used your painted lettering techniques. I use an italic nib for different letter widths. It's works like a charm! Happy Lettering! Bonnie Stephen,

You guys must be psychic! Only a couple of days ago I was discussing painting with my husband and getting very excited about my clock on which I am painting a logo (and the dots for indicators of the time) I am making for a friend. I brought up the subject of painting in oil (which, I might add, I would NEVER have tried without your help - I'm a total newbie to glass painting anyway) using a nib! We threw ideas around for a bit but not having any information or experience, we sort of let the idea slide. Then LO AND BEHOLD! Here's the article! What a win! Thanks so much for your help, tips, advice, guidance and lessons. I can't thank you enough - and I'm sure I speak for everyone who has wanted to try painting on glass (properly!) but been too scared to try! You guys rock - big time!

It will create a thicker heavier line. It works with nib as well as with a brush. The oil badgers well... it creates a smoothe even layer of paint. It works well when using enamels. I love your sites. You do not find information like this anywhere else. Most artists will not share their 'secrets'. I have sent some of my fellow painters to this site. Thanks!

I like your point that it depends on the effect that you are going for. And we too, at the studio, are hugely enjoying the glass painting that we do with bistre brown: there's something more earthy and sensitive and responsive about it - whereas black is so unambiguous and final. Thanks also for mentioning "Q-tips" (these are what we here in the UK call "cotton buds") and that it's also possible to shade with them - to pull and <em>draw</em> the oil-based paint: wonderful technique! All the best, Stephen Hello Angela!

I have decided that with me it depends on the effect that I'm going for. I also mix up larger amounts of the tracing black and clove oil and store it in a small glass container with a metal lid, so that I always have some on hand. I have also done this with bistre brown and that works well to if you don't want such a dark line as black. I myself enjoy using the oil more than water because it feels more natural to <em>me</em> (being from a Fine Art background) and you can blend and shade with a brush or even with a Q-tip.
