An Excellent Brand Of Glass Paint

Why we always use Reusche

by

We’ve tried tracing and shading paints from all over the world. But we always come back to Reusche.

Reusche’s glass paints mix together to make the lump of glass paint that permits us to do the kind of glass painting we enjoy. (Other brands of paint collapse like slugs with salt on them, or like a beached jelly-fish roasting in the sun.)

Also, Reusche’s “tracing” paint works a dream for both tracing and shading, so there’s no need to swap paint.

We mix Tracing Black (DE401) with Bistre Brown (DE402) or sometimes Umber Brown (DE403) or Tracing Brown #1 (1134). We use about 3 parts black to 1 part brown. These paints mix beautifully together.

Why do we add brown?

  1. On the palette, lit up from beneath by our light-box, it’s gentle on our eyes.
  2. After a few minutes on the palette, the black and brown begin to separate a little. This serves as a useful visual reminder to keep re-mixing the diluted puddle of paint with which we’re tracing or shading.
  3. Fired, it makes a gentler, softer “black”.

If you also use Reusche, then it’ll be easier for us to advise you in case you ever have any questions.

Where to order Reusche stained glass paint

  • Directly from Reusche.
  • While Reusche has a minimum order of 1/2 pound, their US suppliers can provide you with smaller quantities.

In Europe, PELI offer you an excellent service. See here for stained glass paints.

Obsessive About Glass Painting

And that means other things must suffer

by

Yes, when you do a lot of one thing, other things must suffer

Unless …

Because we paint stained glass, what always happens is: designing and painting are the things we do a lot of, whereas a far smaller part of our time is involved with (a) cutting glass, or (b) assembling it in lead, soldering, cementing etc.

So let’s say we’ve got a three-month project whose design is finished: everything’s ready for us to start.

  • First up, we’ll cut glass for maybe two weeks.
  • Then, at the end, we’ll lead-up, cement and polish for maybe two weeks or three.

In between, it’s painting, painting, painting. Two months’ worth of painting (along with chasing new projects and preparing initial designs for later work).

Now painting’s great. Painting’s absolutely wonderful. But doing so much of it could easily make big problems for us elsewhere. The problems could be, our cutting and leading might suffer. Actually, this could easily happen.

And that’s why …

More about the Badger Blender

by

Care and Maintenance

This follows on from a recent post about the 5th benefit of undercoating, and also from “The Beastly Lion of Wolsey Towers” – episode #1, in which you saw how to undercoat a large piece of glass.

Today, cleaning your badger.

This is important because, dirty, your badger will wreck your matts and shadows.

Clean, it will serve you wonderfully for life.

So if your matts and shadows aren’t working, sure: it might be you’re being heavy-handed. All the same, your badger just might need a simple clean.
