WOOOW, The finished product is freaking incredible!! Thanks for this video :)
Hi! ๐ I love Blick, too! I get soooo much there. Quick tip for painting strips, lines, etc. ๐คAfter you've measured out where you want the lines, strips, stripes, etc., apply strips of tape (low tack is best) to put where the glass will NOT be painted on. After you've painted and it's dried, slowly and carefully peal off the tape. Ta-da! No more safety pin blues! Here's some help on the brush front..... ๐ Princeton has some really good brushes. There is a brush brand called Robert Simmons and Simply Simmons. They are synthetic and made VERY WELL for their price...$3.43 per brush. This is Blick prices. Some of the groups of brushes under the Simmons name are discontinuing. Some are not and the brushes you use (the liners and the rounds) are not. I like my brushes a little stiffer than the natural Kolinsky-haired brushes, so I stick with synthetic hairs. But, I don't want to paint with broom sticks so stay away from hog bristles and the house painting brushes (bristles too big for what you're doing anyway). Synthetic hairs also mean that no animal had to die for us to paint....win-win ๐!!! The liner brushes are the brushes that are long-haired. Of the 3 brushes you showed together you had 2 liners and a round brush. The round brush looked to be a size 2 or thereabouts? When painting details try rounds from 0/10 up to 3. Depending how large and what, I find 0/3, 0/2, 0/1, 0, 1 and 2 the most helpful. Liners are great for exactly what their named......liners for lining๐ Simply Simmons also has a line of "XF" eXtra Firm. These are still synthetic and soft, but give more support. I am a silk painter and, depending on the silk, I like a little more support.....like a "cross your heart bra with an underwire" vs a "string bikini top" with very little material๐, lol! Anyway, hope that helped! God Bless!
You have a big talent. Your works on glass are beautiful ๐ฅฐ
Thatโs awesome! You got sponsored by Ocean Glass!! Congratulations ๐๐๐พ๐
This is just the video I needed I have been starting with Pebeo 160 and have been struggling with bad brushes. I also had no idea they had gold and iridescent!
As far as for the paint drying out, you can use a wet palette to keep the custom mixed paint longer. This was extremely useful for painting miniatures for tabletop games.
really cool paint brush collection, also your audio is super clear, thanks for taking the time and sharing your hobby tools and supplies. great video !
Love this have this never tried mixing thank yiu
Thank you so much making these videos Rachel, super helpful for someone learning this craft! A slightly unrelated question: I've been having issue with using black patina on wire accents. I see the accents in your alien piece at the end of the video look so nice and they took the patina well! Do you use pre-tinned copper wire for the accents, or tin the wire yourself? I'm hoping I just got a bad batch of pre-tinned wire. I thought maybe I need to buy wire that's already colored black, but I've read reviews about the solder not sticking because of anti-tarnish coatings and such. Can't seem to find an answer on this anywhere and would appreciate your thoughts. ๐
Very well explained. Thank you so much. PAM
Amazing painting๐๐๐ฆ๐ธ
This is beautiful! Nice jobโ๏ธ๐ฉโค๏ธ
Awesome video as always lovely!!!! ๐๐๐
This was a great video - thank you! Have you had any problems with the baked paint and either flux, cleaning the glass, using patinas, etc? Iโm curious if once itโs baked it can be treated like any other glass or if you mask it off before flux, cleaning, or applying patina? Thanks ๐
Your hair looks so good!!!
Do you know if a countertop convection oven works as well as a traditional kitchen model? I'd like to use something simple in my garage. Love your videos! Thanks so much!
Can I use this paint for exterior projects? ๐ค
is it possible to set this in a kiln? i donโt have an oven. โน๏ธ
