The one thing

Mix great paint to start with
A few months ago, a student from Illuminate, mixing paint for the first time, accidentally made “soup”.
That is, runny paint.
So runny it was uncontrollable – impossible to work with.
“Help! What shall I do?” they asked.
And we replied. Because that’s how we work inside our online courses: we help you solve your problems.
Not just while the course lasts.
Also afterwards.
Now, if this happens to you – that you accidentally make soup: sloppy, runny paint – in brief the options are:
- Add more powder, or
- Add more gum.
But, suspecting from our student’s words that the answer was “more gum”, we made a short film just for them to give them confidence.
After all, you might think, if you have runny paint to start with, how can you thicken it by adding liquid gum?
This film you’re about to watch is not the film we made for our student.
It’s a new film.
We’ve given it more context.
It’s all part of the glass painter’s method – the method which we’re thrilled to share with you, because learning how to paint stained glass is such a wonderful experience.
It’s why we wrote a book.
The Glass Painter’s Method, Book 1 is ready.
