We choose stained-glass paints

What can compare with the beauty of stained glass windows? The quaint paintings of colored glass, through which the sunlight flows and illuminates everything around with extraordinary colors, delight and fascinate. Since ancient times, stained-glass windows have decorated temples, but today they are very popular.

Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to create a real masterpiece (namely, a masterpiece can be considered every stained-glass window). But this problem has a beautiful modern solution - stained-glass paints. They are easy to use, so that even children can draw them. But what to say, any person who never dreamed of becoming an artist can create an amazing picture with their help.

If you went to buy stained-glass paints, pay attention to the label of the jar. There should be a note "burned" or "non-combustible".

Working with the first view involves some inconvenience. The product covered with such a paint should be burned in the oven. The instruction indicates the required temperature and duration of firing. Just remember that some materials are very sensitive to high temperatures, so their heat treatment is unacceptable. Stained-glass paints fixed on the product in this way are resistant to water. Therefore, they recommend to paint dishes, vases and stuff.

As for non-burning stained-glass paints, their feature is saturated, bright colors. They just need to dry, but do not wet them.

Packaging also matters. It can be a vial with a dispenser or a jar. Paints for stained glass in bubbles are applied with a dispenser. They are simply squeezed out of the vial. Children's stained-glass paints, for example, produce exactly in this form. Working with them is very convenient. Open the vial, turn over and Apply (of course, within the designated contour) paint on the surface. If desired, you can mix two colors, creating shades.

Stained glass paint from the jar is applied with a brush. Paints can be mixed with each other to get the right shade.

Separately I want to highlight acrylic stained glass paints on glass. They have many advantages:

- easy to use;

- without a smell (this is a big plus for children's creativity);

- they can be washed off easily with water;

- diluted with the same water, the solvent is not needed.

When buying stained-glass paints, do not forget to buy other necessary materials for the future masterpiece.

1. Contours.

With their help, the boundaries of the drawing are created. They mimic the veins between the glass pieces of this stained glass window. In addition, you can fine-tune fine details. As it is sometimes used inks in flakonchikah with a dispenser.

2. Brushes.

Suitable if you chose paints in jars. Today brushes from artificial and natural materials are on sale. The seller will tell you what is suitable for a particular type of paints.

3. Varnish.

Again, an optional material. For baked paint is not needed. If the finished product does not come into contact with water, it can also not be varnished.

4. Optional accessories.

A jar or a glass of water, a napkin, a palette for mixing paints, stencils and other materials to facilitate and increase the efficiency of work.

Well, here, perhaps, and everything, that it is possible to tell about preparation for work with stained-glass paints. Successful shopping for you! Enjoy your creativity and please yourself and your loved ones!
