Ok, just a quick wash up on the stained glass portrait. Finally finished. I use a white pollyfiller type of powder to grout the glass, this allows me to control how deep and far it penetrates beneath, and allows me to use it as a very subtle highlight. I then use a good quality black water paint to darken the grout where necessary, and all that is left is some serious elbow grease to clean it all up.
The two photos are with light from behind and in front, this shows really well how the different glasses perform, not just chosen for colour, but also how they illuminate the picture. The hair and shirt in particular really perform well. I am so pleased with it, really worth the time and effort, I'll be really sad to see an old friend go, but happy he is going to a better home.
