You are the very best. Thank you for sharing. I am getting closer to being able to start doing this and feel so much more confident after seeing this particular episode because it's very much like the porcelain painting I've done in the past. Honestly I think I can use the powdered pigments I have and I already have clove and lavender oil which is what I use for porcelain. I can't thank you enough. Nowhere else would I be able to learn this!
That’s great news Joy! Thank you so much for your kind words and I look forward to discovering your work, especially if you are able to use your porcelain paints on glass 🙂
Dear artist Derek, the sanguine and progressive it appears when you carefully keep the soul of original art of glass painting and the equal respect to the ambiance of the contemporary art. Its really a leadership of yours. My question is , if the iron oxide used in same way as 'silver stain' on float glass, and fire it upto 800 Celsius degree temperature, will it work? Are there some alternate to experiment with budget, as for learner its curious and also a bit financial look up too.
The iron oxide paint is fired at 650 degrees centigrade and the silver stain (yellow) is fired at 620 degrees centigrade. You can use a ceramics kiln or a pottery kiln if you can find a second hand one on ebay. As long as you can control the temperature to the levels I suggested, you will be able to fire the paints and stains successfully.
Hi Derek. The Reusche medium you used, is this similar to Glycol? Which is what Ellen (Glasatelier Ellen) uses to layer paint without the need for firing in between. Wendy
This is fascinating! I would very much like to learn to do this. Unfortunately I live in a tiny apartment and have no more room. If I ever can live in a house, I will look into this.
Thank you Derek, for imparting your knowledge, skills, techniques & enthusiasm!. It’s a joy to see, never underestimate the power of seeds! Thank you once again.
Another great video! Was each fuse at 100 degrees or was that just to dry it? Could u tell me firing schedule? Thanks I’m new to this and still very much new to this
The oil lines were dried at 100 degrees centigrade so I could scratch them back, but the paints all have to be fired at 650 centigrade. Firing schedule is very simple - straight up to full temperature and hold for 10 minutes then switch off and let the kiln cool down naturally to 100 degrees before opening the kiln. 🙂
What is the powder in your kiln? I have a kiln shelf with kilnwash or paper. I have done casting with dry plaster. but that looks like you are using some kind of powder (maybe plaster) instead of a shelf.
Hi Joseph, yes I am using a powder - it’s whiting powder ( calcium carbonate), but you can also use plaster of Paris, but you need to fire it through the kiln at full temperature before using with glass paint. It’s cheap and re-usable and lasts longer than kiln paper. 🙂
I am trying to learn to paint on glass, but working on a budget and without my own kiln, so hoping to keep firing to a minimum. I have read that it's possible to paint with a gum arabic/water mix first, then work on top with a Propylene Glycol mix. How does oil or the Reusche oil, compare to Glycol do you know? Thanks
Hi Roseanne, thanks for your email. I prefer to use Reusche oil medium instead of propylene glycol for painting layers. I find it’s less greasy to work with. 🙂
@@DerekHuntArtist Thanks so much for your quick reply, I will see if I can track it down here where I am. It would be great if you could make a video showing what you can do with limited access to a kiln, or cheaper solutions.
@@roseannekingston5098 Unfortunately there is no real alternative to firing the glass paint in a kiln which can reach and hold temperatures of around 650 degrees centigrade.
Hi Derek! Thank you for a brilliant video tutorial, tell me please, do you use any other medium for dip pen besides the oiles? Or is it just dry paint+gloves oil+lavender oil left for a 24 hours? If not a secret, could you tell the amount of the dry paint and the oils in this blend please? Thank you!
Yes it’s just clove oil and lavender oil 2 to 1 ratio with paint added. You have to experiment to get the consistency right. Watch the other videos I’ve linked to find out more about dipping pens 🙏🙂
Hi Derek, my situation is similar to Rose's, i'm learning to paint on glass but i have to rent the oven and is far from my house. My question is if i draw the first lines with the mix of arabic gum and the paint, does it get dry and then can i continue with another shade as if the first lines were fired?
Hi Chicadania, It is possible to paint trace lines with a 20% acetic acid vinegar mix, leave for 24 hours then paint a water and gum Arabic shading layer on top of that before firing in the kiln. Good luck and let me know how you get on 🙏🙂
@@soul963You ok, that piece of glass is a semi-opaque white hand made sheet glass. It’s not available anymore as it was made by Tatra glass in Poland, and they’ve stopped making sheet glass now! You could buy a semi-opaque Lamberts glass instead :-)

Just love the checker board effect. Thank you for sharing and encouraging experimentation in this medium. A delight to watch
Thanks so much!

Hi Wendy, It is similar to glycol but I don’t know exactly what is in the Reusche medium. 🙂

Maybe one day!🙏🙂
Rad. My wife does stained glass, but I'd also like to give it a shot. really well shot video too, cheers -shauninparadise
Hey Shaun! Great you hear from you and amazing to learn Astrid makes stained glass too! Loved your most recent video btw!😀
Me gusta mucho ver tus vídeos y como trabajas :)
Muchas gracias! 😊
I just love, love, love it! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for watching and for your support!

You’re very welcome, glad you find it helpful! :-)
Amazing as always
Really good it was helpful !🙏🙂
This is such a pleasure to see. I had to think about William Blake, or Rembrandt, the extraordinary skills and the unfathomly magic of a true artist.
That’s very kind of you ! 🙏🙂
I got my dipping pens and rigging brushes ready. This is definitely helping me improve my skills.
Awesome!

Hello I’m new to cutting glass and was getting my tools what is the best brand to buy thank you 😊
Hi Erik, the best brand for cutting glass is called TOYO. Have a look on my Amazon shop and you’ll find the ones I recommend 🙂
Me encantó el tutorial, realmente atrevido y el resultado es precioso, muy inspirador, gracias por compartir
You are very welcome, thank you for watching !🙏🙂
I LOVE This!!! I am going to try it! I paint on porcelain and all the paints but Ruby's pinks and purples will fire and mature at 022 for glass.
So glad you find the video helpful !🙏🙂
Thank you, I was thinking on how to do that.
Glad I could help

Love coming across your channel it’s been far too long since I’ve dabbled in glass and I love enamels … thanks so much for sharing your knowledge…

Thank you for demystifying this process Derek- I feel confident enough now to give it a go :)
So glad you liked it!🙂
Beautiful work. What is the name of the kiln? I actually thought it was a printer
It’s an old gas kiln not made anymore!

Hi I really enjoy your channel I've learned so much one thing I need to know is where to get that Reusche oil paint medium you talk about
Hi Robert, depends where you are based. In the UK you can get it here www.creativeglassguild.co.uk/prod/reusche-water-based-painting-medium
you don't put a binding agent (gum Aribic) in your paint?
I do use gum Arabic in my paint mixture, but not in silver stain ( which has gamboge gum already in it)

Which one?
