Ok so we're going to draw a quick design on, on this, on this glass. You can treat it just as you would a painting you know, as if you where painting. You can be as painterly as you want, you can build it up you can have real thick places if you want. You can try thin, the one thing you need to do is keep it sprayed with water, just a little spritz so that it doesn't dry. Next you put your piece of paper in the water and get it all wet and obviously again, you need a, a, a paper with a fair amount of heft to it. You know the light weight sketch paper won’t work. When you've got the water, when the water finishes dripping off of it you come over to here to your, to your plate. You start with one corner and you lay it down and then you very carefully let it go and you lay it carefully like that so you don't get air bubbles. And then you're going to roller it and you see some of it's going to come out the other side. This again is about and then you pull it up and I'm going to remove this so you can let it dry. You would usually hang this up, now this one you can tell it still had a little water at the end and where it got thick where I put it on real thick you are going to end up with these sort of big circles because what you're doing by pressure on is of course you're smushing out the, the, the paint. So the thicker the paint is the more it's going to smush.
