Thank you. 🙌

I’m so excited I finally got to watch this incredible video. Thank you Jill once again for sharing your knowledge with all of us. Enjoyed every minute, and as you suggested I grabbed a bag of popcorn. Looking forward to more of your wonderful art on glass. Hugs from Florida

[@FiredGlass]

Popcorn and a long video it my idea if heaven. So glad it was useful.

Thank you for watching, glad it helped.

[@albrightfs]

FABULOUS tutorial THANK you so much for sharing. Absolutely love your videos. and your artwork is STUNNING!

[@FiredGlass]

Thank you so much!

[@albrightfs]

I sure hope you are doing well. I miss watching your videos and talent. @@FiredGlass

[@FiredGlass]

@@albrightfs we have been really busy with family things so video creation has taken a back seat. We've just setup up a lampworking area in the studio too so that's sucked up more time. We are getting back on track now.

[@rareandwonderfull]

Very nice work. I watched you work on it over several evenings. A LONG video. I wonder how it would look done in transparent/translucent enamels. Perhaps it would look like unrecognizable, soft blushes of color? Thank you for sharing/showing and so good that you are "back in the saddle" again.

[@FiredGlass]

That's a good way to watch this epic - it is a long video. It's tricky to find a balance. The speed up videos we tend to find that you miss important details, stages for the sake of reducing the length of the video. We don't do too many feature length videos like this so we felt it was right to show the majority of the start to finish for this piece. The underpainting and layering is the key to getting realism and depth to the piece. This is something you cannot really skip. You could certainly make the final piece more abstract and loose, using transparent/translucent enamels would do that. Jill like photo realism in her work, however those that like a more abstract painterly feel could certainly achieve that if they so desire.

[@rareandwonderfull]

@@FiredGlass Thank you for so long a reply. The most important thing is knowing that Jill is back to normal again, so many health challenges the past few years. Just good to know that you are well and enjoying life! Ralph in Ohio p.s. I know from my walking stick work everyday that I want to complete canes faster for my customers , but the quality would look like amateur work. Detailing, polishing the metal handles etc. I want to go faster, but it seems like trying to run with cinder blocks bound to the feet. Concrete shoes! LOL!

[@bentebrunsvelt319]

Beautyfull work 👍👍😬

[@FiredGlass]

Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed it.

[@sherrirowan5049]

Jill, for your underpainting, are you using the Medium ? At the beginning?, or the layering medium? Thank you. I’m so enjoying your video, technique, and personality. It’s like painting with a friend (watching this and painting now).

[@FiredGlass]

Thank you for watching and your kind words about my style. Layering mix at the start to allow multiple layers to be applies. Medium used as a glaze towards the end of the piece.

[@christinethompson5069]

Do I need to buy both medium and layering mix as I live in Canada and supplies are hard to get shipped

[@FiredGlass]

@@christinethompson5069 You don't have to have both. That said they do different things; layering mix to help drying between layers. Medium acts as a glaze and used towards the end of the piece. Also they last for ages as you only use a drop or two at a time so once purchased you get a long lifespan from them.

[@sherrirowan5049]

Hi Jill. Do I mix the gum Arabic in the mixing medium or water to make my own layering medium. Thank you

[@FiredGlass]

You mix it with water

[@cathmaguire7887]

Great video. Until I can buy some enamels can I use powdered gas’s. Thanks

[@cathmaguire7887]

Glass

[@FiredGlass]

It depends on how finely it is ground. Enamels are powered glass, but very very fine. I doubt you would be able to achieve the same grind size, but might be worth trying.

[@cathmaguire7887]

Hi really enjoyed this video. Do you leave each layer to dry Be4 painting over it?

[@FiredGlass]

Yes I do! However with layering mix you don't need to wait too long.

[@susantyson1204]

Hi, can you tell me which grade of frit you use the most of? I was thinking of concentrating on powder and coarse and gradually building up my supplies? Any advise?

[@FiredGlass]

Hi, powder the most for backgrounds then medium, fine, coarse in that order. Depends on your style, designs and preference.

[@katiejo1095]

What temperature do you fire the glass, and how long to you fire it!

[@FiredGlass]

We used a standard tack fuse schedule and a slump schedule for the final shape. These are detailed in the PDF booklet that goes with this tutorial.

[@jorose6093]

After firing a piece, if you’re not happy with it, can you add to it and re fire?

[@FiredGlass]

Absolutely you can

[@jorose6093]

I’ve found your videos and am just considering buying a kiln as I want to painting roundels and panels to go into my stained glass work to go into windows etc, can I ask would these particular paints be suitable , also do you have to use fusible glass as a base or can I paint on any of my stained glass? Kind regards, Jo

[@FiredGlass]

Hi, yes enamel paint would work with roundels provided you fused the pieces for the item.

[@sherrirowan5049]

And Jill, may I ask, what parameters does one need to follow when selecting enamels in glass firing. Are they considered low fire. Under glazes, glazes? I don’t know the particulars of ceramics terms as they relate to kiln formed art glass. Thank you for your help.

[@FiredGlass]

I don’t use Low Fire enamels as they can tend to loose vibrancy at higher temps. All my enamel painted pieces are fired in a std tack fuse. That’s why I use mainly Dove/Rogue, UGC or Colors for Earth (in that order of preference). Also, unlike ceramic glazes & low fire enamels like Reusche, the high fire enamels are pretty true to colour

[@sherrirowan5049]

Jill. What brand is the zircon white please.

[@FiredGlass]

All enamels were Rogue with the exception of Mauve which was UGC.
