This is quite a nice piece. Good luck in the contest!

I have always admired your excellent line work. Congratulations on a very well-deserved win.

@mmarquette I don't know if you have seen this yet, but I made a series of three videos and posted them on Youtube about how I do my glass painting. There is not a whole lot of information, especially about silkscreening on glass. You can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9V-zOX69NsI I do most of the artwork mechanically, so that may not be pertinent to what you want to do, but you might find some of the information in the latter half of the videos helpful. As to your specific question, it is difficult to paint on glass that has a lot of texture, so glass with just a slight amount tends to work better for me at least. You can reproduce the black line work I see on your piece with glass paint but be aware that patina, which is an acid, will eat the paint off the glass in very short order. I have struggled with this problem to the point that I am considering moving away from foil and into thin lead came to avoid the issue. I have done a lots of trial and error experimenting and taken several glass painting classes, but I am by no means an expert at this, however I would be happy to share with you what I know or answer any other questions you have that I might know something about. You can contact me at my school email address: [email protected] if you'd like. I look forward to seeing your next project that includes glass painting. Again, congratulations on a well-deserved award for a very attractive piece of art.

I know how hard traditional glass painting can be. Very nicely done.

Beautiful line work. Congratulations!

This is a very nice piece. I'm interested in your technique for the image of the girl. Is that traditional glass painting or some other technique? It almost looks like cut our paper.

Love the warm golden color here. What kind of glass paints are you using?

Great craftsmanship, and I love all the pebbles.

@mw_guthrie As you requested, a few more photos. The design may look like Illustrator because I do my original design in Illustrator and then print out two copies of the finished pattern on a large format printer, one to go on my homesote board and one to cut up. Elsewhere in my gallery you will see a piece of a girl holding an umbrella. The black line work for that one was done with a calligraphy pen, since I do not like using a brush. For my next piece, the window with the two girls, I experimented with a silkscreen process, which allowed me to better control the quality of the lines. For this steampunk piece I was able to perfect the silkscreen process for doing the black lines and also try my hand at doing some shading with other paint colors. Since I have the summers off from teaching I may post a Youtube video in the next couple of months detailing how I do all this. Thanks for your comments.
