i painted on glass for the first time using flashe paint. lets talk about my results.

i first discovered flashe paint by watching a couple sandi hester videos on youtube. i am a huge fan of her channel and of her work. so i decided to try flashe paint for zieself and see if i liked it.

i was most intrigued by flashe paint because it can paint on all sorts of surfaces such as glass

i knew i had to try it because if it went well, then i see zieself painting on a whole lotta stuffs. think: pretty glass bottles, glass jars, etc.

what is flashe paint?

flashe paint is a vinyl paint that dries matte. it has the consistency of painting with heavy cream. it is a distant cousin to acrylic paint. 

 

i really enjoy that it has no color shift when it dries. that was a huge game changer for me when i first started painting with them.

 

if you’re interested in learning more about flashe paint, i recommend reading their catalog. it was very helpful to me.

 

I bought my flashe paints from blick art supplies, but i noticed they’re available from just about every art supply store. so shop around for the best prices.

what is it like to paint on glass?

it felt like i was painting on air. i dunno how else to describe it. its like that same nothingness feeling you get when you scroll on your phone with a glass screen. you know you’re scrolling because the phone responda but in reality, nothing is really happening.

 

since flashe paint is not a heavy body paint, it glides all over the glass. it was a beautiful feeling.

what did i learn from painting on glass with flashe paint?

i know there are other types of glass paints. im pretty sure i remember reading in the cheap joes catalog that pebeo has a glass paint. 

 

i didn’t buy flashe paint just because it can paint on glass, but it was a huge bonus in my purchasing decision.

 

dont paint thinly while painting on glass. my first attempt was very watered down in some areas. this made it difficult to varnish. i recommend painting with the consistency of flashe straight out of the tube.

 

if you’re painting in layers, let them completely dry between each layer. i was very impatient and didn’t do that, so my paint started to peel. i finally had to let the layers dry for the night before i continued.

 

use a matte varnish after about a week to seal the paint. this is super importante because you dont want the paint to chip off.

 

i dont think this paint is food safe or diswasher safe. so i dont recommend eating off of it.

lets look at my results

i believe my three jars turned out great. i learned a lot while painting on each of them. what do you doves think?
