Using Pebeo glass paints and outliner beginner glass painting experience art craft challenge

Ever tried glass painting and failed? Need some non-expert help?
No-one makes glass painting look easier than an expert, so in this video I'm trying my hand at glass painting and figuring out the beginner mistakes.

From how I found it best to use the glass outliner pen, to how to thin the glass paint, and have included a baking and dishwasher test at the end.

After 9 days of practice and testing I did manage to create something that wasn't too shabby!
I genuinely wonder how many people have tried glass painting and given up after a few days...

Anyway, this is what I've learnt condensed into a 20 minute snapshot.

After becoming ill in October 2022, With a subsequent diagnosis of Grave's Disease (May 23), I decided to create tutorials for all of my flowers and makes. I'd spent 8 years perfecting my techniques and now, I'm happy to share them with you all, make them for yourself, your friends or even to sell...
I've had to close down all my selling platforms as I wouldn't be able to keep up with the orders.

With no improvement in my health and another diagnosis of Connective Tissue Disease (Feb 24), I am now rediscovering all the art techniques and crafts which I've always wanted to try, but never did.. I'm still managing to do at least one, sometimes two hours of arty things most days. This includes making, drawing and painting. It's something I can do - even when I'm exhausted, I can just sit quietly and draw.

Do let me know that you dropped by, just leave me a little message, a wave or thumbs up in the comments section.
Your support really is gratefully received.
