When you paint something on glass, do you have to paint on the back of the glass, so that the front would be the image? That would be hard to do, because I paint using lots of layers, so if I painted like that on the back of the glass, only the first layer would appear on the front.
(I have no clue about glass painting, but it’s sort of like a homework)
Thank you!
Lisa D: So, painting ‘in reverse’. I still think it’s hard, because I have to make a portrait, so I can’t draw too many details 🙁
do we use brush to paint on glass? i am going to try my hand in glass painting..i would like to hear from you friends..share your tips and techniques..when i tried to apply the paint without using a brush..that is, directly from the tube to glass, i found that in some places the paint is thick and the other places thin..how to avoid this?
I want to make a glass painting, if i buy glass paint do i have to use vinegar oil and gum arabic as well or can i just put it straight on?

recently had a decorative lead pannelled window fitted on our landing. Unfortunatley we did not see if before it was fitted and it did not meet our original specifications. we want to paint certain parts of the window to meet our original design and would welcome some advice on what sort of transparent glass paint we could use on this external window.

I am painting wine glasses as favors for my wedding. what I need to know is can you use regular acrylic paints on them and is there anything special I need to do after they are painted to make the picture permanent…other than spraying them with a clear protective spray?

when you paint on glass, to have the picture behind the glass you have to paint what you want in the forefront of the image first..opposite of regular painting where you would paint the background first.So for example, if you wanted a scene of an tree with the ground and sky with clouds behind..you would paint the leaves let it dry then the tree and the clouds , let that dry then the ground then the sky so the layers would look correct, and the smooth surface of unpainted glass is in front protecting your painting

Beautiful painting, how lovley to get one as a card. I’m afraid I’m not organized enough yet to think up things like that with enough time ahead of the occasion! Thanks for stopping by my place; you can see more of my cats on various products at I’m thinking I haven’t got the kitten you liked up as cards or postcards yet, (not enough hours in a day!) but I can put them on whichever product you like.
