Reverse Painting Materials

The reverse painting materials, for working on glass, are very ordinary things, indeed. If you read through the How To section of this website, you may find that you already have a good portion of them.

So you're going to paint. O.K., let's go to the local arts and crafts store. Dollars to donuts they're going to have a set of brushes, packed in a canister type enclosure for sale for very little, especially if you use the cupon in the local paper. Just make sure to buy a set with the correct size and typ of brushes that you will need. I look for at least a few very small round brushes. They are also going to have an awfully lot of picture frames; many with the glass included. If you check the weekley ad, you may save as much as 50%. Now this is exciting! As I already said, you may already have the rest of it right at home.

Maybe you just want to get started with a

Glass Painting Kit It includes all of the glass painting materials you need to do 2 paintings.

Did you ever stop to consider that it might be in you to paint a picture like this to show on a wall in your own home? It really isn't that hard to do. There's probably some leftover paint from any number of projects either down in your cellar, or maybe in a closet off the laundry room. Are they water paints, oil based or acrylic? It doesn't really matter, because you most likely already have what you need for materials for reverse painting on glass.

Reverse Glass Painting Kits?

The thing that matters is, 'yes, you want to, so why not give it a try? The frame couldn't have been much if you picked it up on sale, like I told you. It already had the glass in it...soo... no expense, paints from old projects, maybe a bar-b-que skewer or manicure stick, and a few small paint brushes If you don't have that, get a pencil, and sharpen it, some Qtips, and there you have it! You need nothing more! So get started, and let's go!

This is a reverse painting materials aid that my husband made out in the work shop. I told him that I needed a board to put over the glass painting kits, or the pane that I am working on . It needed to be raised above the surface so that it would not touch the paint that was all ready on the glass, which was still wet. This will keep your working hand out of the wet paint! In order to make your own, all that needs to be done is to take a 22" piece of a pine plank, at least 6" wide, and firmly nail or screw a 1" x 1" x 6" piece of wood to the underside of each end of the plank. Keep the 1 x 1 s flush with the end of the plank. It will fit over any glass pane up to 20". These are for sale at $6.50 each, plus s&h.
