Selecting the brushes
You can use regular watercolour brushes for glass painting. Small size brushes are ideal for filling in the colours, and sizes 000, 00, 0, 1 and 2 are recommended.
Unlike painting with watercolours, however, the technique for glass painting is different. For small paintings, thin brushes should be used and thicker brushes should be used for larger ones.
Tips on usage
Use thinner to get the paint off before you clean your brushes with soapy water. Cleaning is essential as any small residue of paint can ruin a painting.
You can also keep dipping the brush in the thinner while painting. Keep a cloth handy to wipe off any excess thinner.
