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…

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!

@DerekHuntArtist

7 ай бұрын

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. 🙂

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.

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!

Yes you can edge bond glass pieces back together again, if you have enought glass to do that. :-)

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?

Hi Dean, I made three versions of the head and they took about a week or so to make and film.

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?

@DerekHuntArtist

9 ай бұрын

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 🙂

Just before the oil At 4:50 the text overlay indicates a first firing has taken place. What temperature and time is used?

@DerekHuntArtist

11 ай бұрын

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 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

@DerekHuntArtist

11 ай бұрын

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.

Derek: is it possible that the original used the “sfumato” technique?

@DerekHuntArtist

11 ай бұрын

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 .

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?

@DerekHuntArtist

6 ай бұрын

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 🙏🙂

@sarahfrasher3513

5 ай бұрын

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?

@DerekHuntArtist

5 ай бұрын

Yes 3mm float glass is usually ideal for practicing with as it’s easy to get hold of and not expensive!

FAIR, it's almost impossible to get this perfect, I guess.

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. 🙂
