BRUSHES
FOR TRADITIONAL PAINTING ON GLASS |
|
Painting on glass can add depth and realism that may not necessarily
be attainable by glass and lead lines alone. Glass stainers, enamels and
silver stains all can lend details and three dimensionality to your
glass that otherwise may look flat, lifeless and two dimensional. |
|
BRUSHES come in four categories:
, used to apply defining lines,
bolder strokes and line detail
APPLICATORS, to apply paint over large areas, the
first step in matting
BLENDERS, to create an even matt
SCRUBS, used to remove paint to produce highlights
and detail.
