Reverse painting on glass looks more complicated than it is. It requires painting a design on one side of glass that is viewed from the other side. Author and artist Edie Stockstill shares the reverse glass painting method. Materials: Traced or freehand design
Glass
Black acrylic-enamel paint
Several colors of acrylic-enamel paint
Long liner brush
Small paintbrushes
Water
Begin by choosing a design to duplicate. Trace the design or draw one freehand. - Tape the traced pattern on the right side of the glass -- the side that will be viewed.
- Use acrylic enamel (which is a permanent glass paint) and a long liner brush to begin painting the outline of the pattern on the reverse side of the glass (figure A).
- Complete all detail lines and allow to dry completely.
- Next, use a different brush to begin painting colors within the lines (figure B). Blend to outline colors.
- After main colors have dried, begin adding accent colors -- in this case, the green leaves are accented with a bit of white (figure C).
- When paint has dried, display the item so that the painting can be viewed from the other side.
