Painted Light Stained Glass

Finished leaded window

For the new window I needed to make, I had to replicate a painted piece with a “C”.  First I traced a C from one of the existing windows, then I cut out a template from the paper.  I outlined the template with a black sharpie, then filled it in with traditional glass paint.  I used oil and mixed tracing black with grey to get the shade of grey I wanted.  It worked really well to paint the C and then stipple it with the brush that’s in the photo.  It blended the paint strokes perfectly, then I just wiped away the paint that smudged outside the C with a rubber tipped tool.  I fired the piece to 1225 degrees in my kiln and it turned out just great!
