Read this if you are new to glass painting OR if your lines and shadows don’t always come out as you’d like them to and you want to do them really well.
“Just a short note now to tell you that I am delighted with your book: what a lot of work you have put into it. Bravo!” (J. Kenneth Leap, New Jersey, USA)
It all starts here. If your paint is wrong, no way can you trace or shade with it. Problem is, your paint’s not ready-made. You don’t buy it “off the shelf”. You don’t squeeze it from a tube. You must first mix and grind it by yourself. Which means you must also know the right proportions, and how to test them, which isn’t easy.
And that’s just for starters, because it’s also you who keeps your paint in top condition while you work. Yes, like ink, it dries. Unlike ink, glass paint turns to dust unless you stop it. And this is a disaster for your work – a waste of time and money. In this e-book you’ll see how how to mix your paint and also how to keep it so it flows. (You’ll also learn why liquid gum Arabic is far better for your work than powder.)
The point is, you must have good paint. Unless it’s good, no way will your lines or shadows work. It’s just not possible.
“I am thoroughly enjoying you book, having read it at least 3 times so far. It goes further into much more detail than Albinas Elskus’s book, and it’s far more in-depth than the course I took in California” (Bill Hall, Ohio, US)
The palette is where you keep...
