Question
Hello,
Im using for painting the glass Heraeus H31 pigment but I don't know what is the best solvent for this in order to resist in time. Can you help me please also with some details regarding blubbering/brushing the paint in order to get interesting effects?
Thank you very much!
Best wishes
Anna Kiss
Hello, Anna, I am very sorry to say I do not have any experience of this kind of paint. We use paints from Reusche, then mix them either with water or with one of several different kinds of oil e.g. oil of lavender. I searched on the internet but couldn't find anything which might help you. But, if there is ever something we CAN help with, please come back to us - you can see our style of painting here at www.williamsandbyrne.com - I wish you all the best - Stephen Byrne
