The art of glass painting has historical roots, with many astounding
pieces on view in religious buildings and ancient houses around the
world. It is comparatively easy to recreate these wonderful works ofart inyour own home, or to give glass items a modern twist using
the same techniques. Allyou need are an eye for beautiful designs,
a steady hand, and the patience to practise the techniques
before attemptingyour own masterpiece!

You may be wondering where
to start with this seemingly complexhobby - but don't panicl The items
provided with this kit are carefullly chosen toallowyou to start simply and work up to larger,
more complex proiects. This basic kit can be
added to with inexpensive purchases fronr craftand hobby shops.
Grass PainTsThe most basic itemsyou will
need are, fairly obviously, glass
paints. Colours can be mixed fromthe three prime colours (see page g) but
sorne colours are better purchased ready-
mired. Shop-bought paints ofier a wide varietyof vibrant colours and allowyou to chooseexactlv the right shade.
OvTrinrRThe basic black outliner used in
maD/ proiects is provided with
this kit. lt is used to keep the paints
within a specilic area ofyour work,
although some proiects avoid this for a differenteffect. Other colours of outliner can be bought,and metallic colours add an extra dimension toyour work. They can be added on top of the
paint when it is dry for an additional paint effect
PaiuT Svn5acrsThe paints provided can be used on
avariety of surfaces. In addition to glass,
they can be painted onto clear plastic, and
acetate sheets (which can be bought in
different thicknesses and sizes lrom craftshops). lf possible, test the paints onyoursurface to ensure that the surface willnot corrode.
Jlfi*,:,,;,,i'iiljlitffRead page 6 to find out how to use it to itsbest effect, and practise before attempting a
project to get used to the feel of the paintingtool and how it applies the paint.
Cuoninc VpAs with most cralts,you should cover
your clothes andyour work surface
beforeyou begin, to avoid unnecessary
cleaning up. Spilt paint can be removed fromwork surfaces with kitchen towel and a smallamount of metfgrlated spirit; wipe up arlrexcess and dab the stain before it dries. Keepthe rim ofyour paint pots clean to prevent thelids sticking when they are stored.

Basic TrcHriq5rrs
Pngctisr FirstLike all new skills,you should
expect to have some poor attempts
beforeyou produce anything of quality
Collect old glass jars to practise on, or buy
inexpensive acetate stationery items which can
still be used ifyour first designs leave
something to be desired!
Appryinc Tnr PqinTDip the pointed end of the tool
into the paint and dot it onto
your glass surface. Practise
spreading the paint across small areas
without leaving'brush strokes' behind. Make
sure thatyou have enough paint to fill the
desired area; too little paint will leave more
visible strokes.
LezucrzuAREAS
To fill larger areas of colour, use the
blunt end of the painting toot.
Again, make sure thatyou keep
adding additional paint as required to
fill the space. Whenever possible, try to
supportyour work so thatyou are painting onto
a horizontal surface. This will prevent argl colour
flooding to the bottom of the outlined area.
,4'.t^/ .r. A tlrnT Finisn(flD;;-.\F - ,/ ,,,,-,, .he colour fills the maiority of
\ ,/the outlined space, use the pointed end ofv the painting tool to push the colour right into
the corners and edges of the area. lfyou have
too much colour, lift some off with the tool, or
use a cotton bud to remove excess paint.
Csaucinc CoLovRAlways clean the painting tool before
using it to apply a different colour
Whenever possible, allow areas of one
colour to dry before starting work with the
next colour. Some projects use two colours
merging into one another, and this should be
done while the first colour is still wet.
-Fl ECHnTQ*VES
Always start to paint in the centre of a
design, and work outwards as each
colour dries. Where colours merqe,
use a cocktail stick or the clean point ofthe tool to drag the colours into each other
slightly. Some projects sutEest applying a
darker shade iust outsideyour basic colour
for a shadow effect.

mixinc CoLovRSl,'inT ParrTTr--e basic colour rules of paints also apply to
: lss paints: mix blue andyellow to create
l:en, red andyellow to create orange, and
: :e and red to create purple. Experiment with
.:aller or larger amounts of each to obtain
: ferent shades and strengths of colour. The
:,.lour wheel opposite allowsyou to see easi!y
::e different shades available from the three
::imary colours.
FasTrr SsnorslLr obtain paler shades of the three primary
:olours, and of the secondary colours mixed
':om them,you will have to add a colourless
Slass paint. This can be bou6ht from hobby
'rops and craft shops, and simply lightens
:ny other colour when mixed together.
Rpaov-mixro coLovRS
ibu will find asyou mixyour paints that some
colours are more easily achieved than others.
Certain colours will appear slightly 'muddy',
and it is easier to buy the exact shadeyou
require to avoid this muddiness. Remember
also that it is difficult to mix exactly the same
shade twice; ifyou plan to paint an item over
several days, or have large areas to fill with the
same colour, mixingyour own paint could cause
problems. A ready-mixed colour will allowyou
to stop and start atyour leisure without the
rvorry of re-mixing the colour to match.

Apprvirc OvTrinrK- rsinc Tsr OvTrinrRPrn-re pen supplied with this kit has a pointed
-:zzle lo direct the outliner in a fine, precise
'e. However, the hardest part of glass
:;:nting is to create a smooth, even outline
,' ihout bubbles or blotches. Practise app!ing
--e outliner in one flowing movement - it
':ally is harder thanyou might imaginel
-r r,rtLi n i n c YovzuD ESi cn
"l-.st of the projects in this book use templates,
,- ch are all supplied at the back. Trace off the
:esired pattern and follow the instructions to
:',.sition the template correctly. Once in place,
,rJ can simply tollow the pattern withyour
,-,-rliner pen. Leave this to dry thoroughly
:"e:oreyou start to apply coloured paint.
J-Tne FiIisHED l)KoDVCT
Many itemsyou paint will be purely for
decoration, butyou should bear in mind what
the item's use will be beforeyou paint it.
You should always paint the underside of any
bowl or jugyou may want to place food
or drink in - never place food directly onto a
glass-painted surface. Water-based glass paints
can only be gently wiped clean, and never
immersed in water for washing.
Solvent-based paints are more durable but
painted items should still be washed gently
and carefully, and never in a dishwasher.

PruoircTsOne of the most difficult parts of glass painting is successfully
applying the paint without leaving streaks and patcly areas.

Three plastic
sun catcher shapes
STrp I Lay your sun catchers on your
rsork area with the textured side of the ridged
areas facing downwards. Work on the fish first,
as it has very small areas which are good for
Fractice. Use the pointed end ofyour painting
:ool to apply blue paint to the eye, the stripe
across the gre, and alternate stripes thereafter.
5 T r P 2 Now paint in the remaining
stripes, using the red paint. Remember, it is
easiest to start at the centre of a piece and
nork outwards. Push the paint into the very
edges of the area, turnint the sun catcher to
ensure that no areas remain unpainted. Paint
the fins using the red paint, still working on the
unridged side.
S T r P 3 Finally, paint the head of the
fish usingyellow paint, and leave to dry. Paint
the other sun catchers in the same way,
working from the centre outwards and applying
paint to the unridged side of the plastic. Be
especially careful to apply enoughyellow paint
to the large surface area of the starfish to avoid
a patchy effect when it is held up to the light.

Allow this colour to dry. Mix a rich orange colour
to use in the corners. Paint one corner square,
clean the painting tool and use the pointed end
of the applicator to draw a spiral in the wet
paint. Wipe off the excess paint on kitchen towel.
STep 3 Repeat this last process in
each corner square, drawing a spiral in each
whilst still wet. Leave to dry overnight. When
the paint is completely dry, careful[y peel off
the masking tape. If necessary, neaten any edges
with a cotton bud dipped in metlylated spirit.

the design, using red for the petals. Start from the
centre petal and work outwards. Add depth to the

STrp I Trace the Christmas
templates from page 60 onto tracing paper.
Cut them out rouEhly and make slits in the sides
so that the template will fit inside the concave
shape of the bauble. Separate the two bauble
halves and tape the template inside one.
STEP 2 Drawaroundtheshapes
with black outliner, carefully supporting the
underneath ofyour bauble, withyour hand.
When the outliner is dry, paint the green of the
Christmas tree. Move the bauble to keep the
painted area horizontal, to prevent the paint from
accumulating in one area.
STrp 3 When the paint is dry,
continue painting in the central areas o[ the other
designs. Leave them to dry, then reassemble the
parts of the baubles before hanging them.
NOTE: lfyou cannot buy two-part baubles, cut out
each template carefully and tape each to the front of
a bauble. Draw around the designs with Chinagraph
pencil before going over these lines with outliner.
