BRUSHES FOR TRADITIONAL PAINTING ON GLASS

Painting on glass can add depth and realism that may not necessarily be attainable by glass and lead lines alone. Glass stainers, enamels and silver stains all can lend details and three dimensionality to your glass that otherwise may look flat, lifeless and two dimensional.

BRUSHES come in four categories:

  • TRACING BRUSHES, used to apply defining lines, bolder strokes and line detail

  • APPLICATORS, to apply paint over large areas, the first step in matting

  • BLENDERS, to create an even matt

  • SCRUBS, used to remove paint to produce highlights and detail.

PETER MCGRAIN TRACING BRUSHES

Peter McGrain Tracing Brush Set (# RBR PM1) have been specially designed and tested by Peter McGrain to give great control without a huge cash outlay. The five most popular sizes for glass painting are included in this set. They are ideal for accomplishing traditional tracing techniques when applying glass stainers colors to glass.
Set has sizes #1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 brushes.

PETER MCGRAIN SYNTHETIC BADGER BLENDER

 

 

Peter McGrain has found a great Blending Brush (with no animal content). The Synthetic Badger Blender is not as floppy as our Royal Series below and is much more affordable than the European badger blenders. The added springiness gives you more control when blending mats or stippling. The Synthetic Badger Blender is 3" wide.
