In India there is a school of folk painting that paints on glass with oil colours. The results…"
Danielle Evans replied to Mark Weber's discussion Painting on Old Glass Window"If it is going to be placed like a window it will be difficult getting it opaque. If it's going against a wall then no prob. You can try Folk Art (Plaid) glass medium. You can mix it with acrylic paint or paint it on the glass…"
Tom Hillgrove replied to Mark Weber's discussion Painting on Old Glass Window"I think the main problem you will have painting on glass is that most oil paints won't stick to it very well, you should have no problems with acrylic though.You need to put down a base/primer for your paint first if you want it to…"

I found an old window that I would like to use for a painting. I have never painted on glass before. Normally, I paint with oils on canvas or Masonite board. I would like the paint to be opaque and not like stained glass. I have done a little bit of testing with oils on glass and it doesn't seem like the best paint option. Does anyone have any suggestions on what medium would work best? Thanks so much!See More
Dalia Bar-Dror replied to Mark Weber's discussion Attach a glass bottle to a painting"Hi, Mark.
the weight of the bottle (even a small one) would cause the canvas to 'sag', which (unless is part of the intended result) - is not a good look. I would definitely use a rigid board for this work, (or any work that needs to…"
Mark Weber replied to Mark Weber's discussion Attach a glass bottle to a painting"Thanks so much for the advice. I did a little research and I'm going to try using a blending and glazing medium to create a transparent high gloss look. I will keep you posted on how it turns out!"
Danielle Evans replied to Mark Weber's discussion Attach a glass bottle to a painting"For oils.. You could try lots of layers of colour using a glaze medium or linseed oil. Personally I've only done fake blood on myself. I created a wound on my arm with latex and vaseline and food colouring.
Using acrylics...…"
Mark Weber replied to Mark Weber's discussion Attach a glass bottle to a painting"Hey Mo! Thanks so much for the feedback. The background will be painted in oils. So I think I will try painting it on a Masonite panel like you suggested and blue the bottle to the panel using E6000. However I'm still not quite sure how to get…"

I'm a bit new to mixed media. I'm trying to execute a painting that will incorporate a glass whiskey bottle and some fake blood made out of clear glue with red food coloring. I tried a version of this on canvas but I had mixed results. The fake blood made out of glue did not adhere well to the canvas. I attached the bottle to the canvas with liquid nails and it seemed to be pretty stable but since the blood did not stick I decided to start over. Would I be better off using masonite instead of…See More

HERE ARE 2 LINKS to TWO of my youtube videos talking and demonstrating about this amazing product:

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion.
And this is the completed screen ready for printing. I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).
I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
