When it goes well ...

But when your glass painting go wrong, you accidentally ruin a morning’s work - then life doesn’t seem so good.

And that's what I want to talk about today, because I've noticed how, when things go wrong, people do one of several things.

Sometimes they rush to blame their technique - they think their hand’s too wobbly.

Or they blame their tools: “If only I had a better tracing brush …”

Technique or tools.

One of those two, they say.

When actually we've often found that it's their paint.

Yes, time and again, with students in our studio, once they learn to mix their paint the way we show them, they immediately paint better.

This is wonderful because it's something you can fix yourself in just a few hours, by reading this ebook and watching the 7 videos which come with it:

I've watched & read this course several times, and I seem to learn more with each viewing. Using the information in the course, I mixed a lump several days ago, let it sit overnight and then began a most pleasant day of painting.

Over the years, my flooding was somewhat uncertain and often blistering. Thanks to you, I now realize I just wasn't recharging my brush often enough, so the distribution of gum and paint was uneven. The three test pieces I did this week came out smooth and well fired.

Your attention to one of the most basic, fundamental and perhaps most misunderstood skills, mixing paint, is certainly appreciated and will raise the level of any craftsman who takes the information and applies it in an inquisitive, bold and thoughtful manner.

Suffice it to say, you've done a great job! (Tom M.)


Why mix a lump of glass paint? What's wrong with mixing just a teaspoonful?

Great question.

After all, other books say just to measure out a tiny quantity of glass paint.

So there are 3 big problems when you mix a teaspoonful of glass paint are:

  1. It dries out quickly on your palette. This means you waste a lot of time keeping it fresh.
  2. Your supply can easily run out just when you're in the middle of tracing or flooding or shading, and you must stop what you're doing and mix more paint. Again, more wasted time.
  3. When you mix new paint, you can't be sure this next teaspoon will be the same as your last - it'll feel different to trace with, it can even fire differently.

Whereas ...

A lump of glass paint - water, gum Arabic and vitreous enamel like Reusche's Tracing Black (DE401) - solves these 3 big problems:

  • A lump is better at retaining moisture, so it only dries out slowly;
  • Whenever you need more, you just cut another slice from the lump, dilute it with a little water, and you're ready - quick and easy;
  • You can be confident each slice is like the one before it i.e. you can get to know your paint: it's predictable.

There are 7 benefits in all.

You learn them through the videos.

You also learn just the right amount of water (surprisingly little) and gum Arabic to add so that you make a lump (and don't make soup which dries like concrete).

There is a method.

You learn it through the videos.


Are these videos like I can watch on YouTube?

I'm glad you mentioned that.

In fact we use 3 cameras.

One left, one right, and one above.

That way we can always draw your attention to what you need to see.

So no. Nothing like you watch on YouTube.


How much time will I need to finish this ebook?

About 3 hours.

Just 3 hours and you'll learn skills you'll never get from other books.

You'll learn to mix perfect paint.

This is so important because, mix great paint to start with, and then you're free to make great progress with your tracing and shading -


Can I download the videos?

Certainly you can.
