How to preserve glass painting?

Glass painting ..?

  • i noticed a member here is fond of glass painting .. would this person be kind and share some tips with us about glass painting .. what kind of glass to use .. colors .. etc ,,,

  • Answer:

    colors - Glass paints can be found in both opaque colors and transparent colors. If the desired result is a painted effect, the opaque colors offer solid color that light does not pass through. about me i prefer the transparent colors < it reminds me of purity. The glass paints vary in price. Although very little paint is used on each piece because glass is a non-porous surface and it takes minimal amounts of paint to color the surface. All of the glass paints will last quite a long time and allow for painting many pieces. All are a good value for the money! When selecting the paint, choose the brand according to the desired performance and durability and remember, as they say, "you get what you pay for". here r 10 hints i found on the web that will help u have a better result: 1. Be sure to clean glass before painting. Rubbing alcohol or glass cleaner will work to remove any residual grease left on the piece. 2. Follow the instructions carefully for each paint product selected. Some paints (such as PermEnamel) require an undercoat and overcoat to be applied before and after the color. Other paints such as Vitrea 160 and Glossies require only paint. 3. All glass can be baked. Simply place it in a cool oven, allow the oven to heat to desired temperature, set the timer and bake for the required time. After baking allow the piece to cool down before removing from the oven. Oven thermometers are suggested. 4. Resin based paints such as Pebeo's Vitrea 160 are removable until baked. Simply wipe off mistakes with a cotton swab and warm water or alcohol. 5. All brushes can be used for glass painting; synthetic brushes tend to allow for more brushstrokes, natural haired brushes allow for more paint to be applied for a smoother coverage. 6. All tools can be cleaned with soap and water. If using an acrylic based paint (such as PermEnamel and Glossies) be sure to clean the brushes immediately after use - so they don't dry out. 7. To paint an entire piece all one color - sponges give the best overall, even coverage. 8. When using stencils, sticky stencils work best. Stick the stencil to glass and apply paint with a sponge. 9. Many effects can be obtained using mediums, accessories and auxiliary products. Pebeo's Vitrea 160 line offers frost medium for frosted effects, iridescent medium for iridescent effects and crackling medium for crackled effects. The Vitrea 160 paint line offers a selection of both frosted and glossy colors as well as 10 colors of dimensional outliners for adding designs with a "puffy" dimensional appearance. Delta's PermEnamel offers additional frost medium, shimmer colors and outliner for lead effects. 10. Don't mix the paint lines with each other as each has a different formulation and combination of the products by mixing paints could result in undesirable results! & @ the end here's a star la3yonak

This Link is because you're interested in orange glass painting of course :D http://painting.about.com/od/paintingforbeginners/ss/PaintingGlass_2.htm I yahoo'd the following for u (sorry it's too long lollll) The color of a glass is determined by what's around it, what you see through it, what is reflecting in it, and how much shadow there is. Traditionally, glass painting referred to painting on the surface of a sheet of glass to be included in a stained glass work. This kind of painting, which is actually closer to drawing than painting, was done to add details such as faces and folds of clothing that couldn't be added with traditional lead lines. It was also used to cover up portions of stained glass works so that light was kept from shining through. In most cases, the glass paints used for stained glass painting are predominately browns and gray-blacks. The colors tend to be water or gum arabic based, and can be applied with a brush in a method similar to the way watercolors are applied. In most cases, these paints are fired onto the glass using a kiln. The heat of the kiln causes them to bond permanently with the glass. There are several major types of traditional stained glass paints, including vinegar trace paint, matt paint, silver stain, and oil based paints. • Vinegar trace paint This paint, which is dark and completely blocks out the light in the areas where it is applied, is most often used for figure or design lines. It is fairly thick and must be mixed with water, vinegar, and gum arabic to use. Gum arabic, which helps the paint stick to the glass, is usually purchased in powder form and must be mixed with water or alcohol before using. Vinegar trace paint must be applied "wet on wet"; that is, both the brush and the glass surface must be wet. You can't apply more paint to a particular place once it dries; if you do, the paint is likely to flake when fired in the kiln. Painting with vinegar trace paint requires practice. The hardest part is learning to apply just the right amount of paint. Too much on the brush and it will blot, too little and it will dry before the stroke is complete. When dry, vinegar trace paint is often scraped or scratched with a small stick or quill. This gives the paint a texture and depth that can't be gotten from the paint alone. Once prepared, the paint is fired to around 1100 degrees F. It becomes shiny after firing. • Matt paint Matt paint, which uses a base of either water and gum arabic or water and vinegar, is easier to apply than vinegar trace paint. It can be applied thickly or thinly and can even be "blended" and stippled or worked with a second brush to give it an interesting texture. Some artists even rub it with their fingers to achieve more unusual effects. Because it is more transparent than vinegar trace paint, matte paint is generally applied over tracing paint. Often, two firings are required, one for the tracing paint and a second for the matt paint. Matt paint is most frequently used for filling in backgrounds and adding shadows. As with vinegar trace paints, the color selection is somewhat limited, consisting primarily of blacks, brown, blues, and greens. • Silver stain Silver stain, which is available in shades of red, yellow, and orange, gets its name from the presence of silver nitrate in the stain. After firing, it turns golden, not silver-colored. It is unlike paint in that it actually changes the color of the glass, rather than simply covering it up with a dark line or wash. Silver stains do not flow well from the brush, but since they are generally used to add accent colors (rather than detailed lines) this is not a major issue. They are often applied to the opposite side of the glass from vinegar trace and matt paints, and may be fired face down, with the silver stain resting on the kiln shelf. Since silver stains are fired to around 1000 to 1100 F, they may be fired at the same time as stained glass paints. Unlike glass paints, silver stains darken and grow deeper with each firing. • Oil-based stained glass paints The advantages of oil-based glass paints are that they come in more colors, are easier to work with, and are not effected by general atmospheric conditions. The major disadvantage of these paints are that they tend to be less consistent in application; although colors may be mixed like regular oil paints, they do not always mix easily or thoroughly and sometimes fire unevenly. Oil-based paints, which use an oil-turpentine base, are generally fired to a slightly lower temperature than water-based paints. They tend to break up if fired to higher temperatures. If you are interested in learning more about the traditional stained glass painting process, obtain a copy of Albinus Elskus's The Art of Painting on Glass, widely considered the classic in the field.
