3 Best Brushes for Glass Painting (What You NEED to Know)

[@juliegritten3026]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I have been struggling with brushes as I begin to explore painting and have really been frustrated with the brushes I have been trying out from my oil painting days. Time to invest in Kolinsky brushes definitely! Next, up, how to get the correct consistency of the paint mixing. You’re videos are so valuable. Thank you for sharing all you know about stained glass painting. I look forward to watching every single one over and over.

Hi Julie, I’m so pleased you’ve found this tutorial helpful. Glass painting can be very tricky to do, especially if you don’t know the best brushes to use. Thanks for your feedback, it’s very helpful to me in knowing what kind of videos are best to make for our creative community. 🙂

I love the Kolinsky brush! I've never really got on with the rigger, mainly because I was taught to use it incorrectly to begin with. The reservoir brush looks fun, might have to get one to try.

[@DerekHuntArtist]

Yes, the reservoir brush is worth experimenting with for sure!

Muchas gracias, voy a probar el Kolinsky, pierdo más tiempo intentando que el pincel lance la consistencia adecuada que pintando, muchísimas gracias

Just the thing to inspire me to go to our one and only remaining local art supply store and drool over supplies that I don't really need! Those reservoir brushes have intrigued me for a long time but I'm just not really very good at painting and so I doubt I'd be able to exploit their advantages to any great degree. I'm curious, though - should beginners focus on quality brushes when they're learning the basics, or wait until the expensive brushes will make a noticeable difference to their developing talents? Put another way, are expensive brushes likely to make enough of a difference to a beginner to maybe keep him/her from getting discouraged and stick with the learning process?

[@DerekHuntArtist]

Great question ! I would not recommend a new golfer buys the most expensive clubs right away - learn the basics first before investing in top end kit. Same with brushes, buy some good quality ones that don’t fall apart and learn how to paint, and save up for top quality brushes once you know a bit more about how to paint on glass. 🙂

@@DerekHuntArtist - when I first started out, I learned through an online package of videos by a well-known artist and he made it look so easy to lay down a base wash of thinned-out pigment with a wide hake brush. I bought one just like his but could NOT get anything like an even background no matter how many times I tried. I was on the verge of giving up and finding another hobby when I decided to ask him if he had any suggestions. He actually sent me one of his own well-used hake brushes and to my great surprise it worked much better than my brand new one of the exact same make. Ever since then I've suspected that brushes, like so many other things in this world, need a breaking-in period before they perform optimally (or in my beginner's case, even acceptably.) Just another of the "lessons learned" from the real world that we pick up over time as we gain experience.

[@DerekHuntArtist]

@@grampsinsl5232yes, really good point. Getting used to your brushes is a huge part of the learning process. What works for me might not work in the same way for you. However, a quality brush will make the learning less painful for sure ! Rubbish brushes produce rubbish results….
