    hi everyone,

    I'm Vishnu. I Know very little about glass painting . i have done one also when i was learning about it. I have few queries with glass painting.

    1)How can i get the skin color to paint on glass. I use fevicryls glass colours. but the colors they provide are limited.

    2)Is there any other company glass colors which can be used.

    I have a fairy picture which i want to do as glass painting.

    I want the fairy wings to be covered with glitters of pink color . is it possible.

    please can anybody sort out my problems.

    will be waiting for suggestions.

    thankyou

    vishnu

    Hi vishnu,
    By glass painting I suppose you are referring to stain glass paints. Camel has a range of stain glass paints. you can also blend colors & lighten with medium to get the desired effect.
    If it is reverse glass painting then you get skin colour fabric paint itself.

    hi vishnu,
    i forgot to add that in stain glass you can use glitters by 1st spreading the glitters in the desired area & then using the paint.
