Doris Cultraro, from Rhinebeck, New York, US, writes and asks us about the kinds of brushes that we use for stained glass painting.

Here’s our list to get you started.

• Wide narrow brushes for undercoats and overcoats
• Blenders – large and small – which are mostly used to move wet paint around on the glass
• Tracing brushes of various thicknesses for different kinds of line
• Scrubs and stipplers to make highlights and texture
