These unique instruction packets are extremely detailed and combine several mediums and artistic techniques such as: faux stained glass on glass, on canvas and wood, decorative painting, collage techniques, texture paste and many more. These patterns are perfect for everyone, whether you are a beginner or an expert!


Julie is also the author of the Faux Stained Glass Techniques DVD #1 and #2 where she covers more than 40 tricks and techniques to realize spectacular effects using the Vitrail products from Pébéo. Always searching for new ideas and fond of textures and mixed effects, she loves combining products and textures to create surprising and ingenious effects. Julie devotes her time to creating various projects (magazines and personal publications), testing products and teaching her discoveries.

Through her searches, she has discovered that it was quite interesting to use the "Vitrail" paint to other non-conventional surfaces such as wood and canvas. So were discovered the famous techniques that were named "Faux Stained Glass on wood" and "Faux Stained Glass on canvas"... a must see!

She specialises in the following fields:

  • Faux stained glass on glass
  • Faux stained glass on wood
  • Faux stained glass on canvas
  • Mixed techniques (paint, mediums, texture paste, etc.)
  • Tole painting (beginners)
  • Scrapbooking
  • Painting on glass and porcelain
