Speaking Of Crafts

The proposition of painting glass windows is a tricky one for several reasons. First, it’s crucial to select an appropriate piece of glass and a type of paint that will show up well and behave the way you want it to when applied to glass. In lieu of a palette, you’ll want to use a spare piece of glass – perhaps an old dish or glass cup. Test out your colors on that surface first to see the way they will appear on the glass window.

You’ll also need to decide whether to employ opaque colors or transparent ones. It really comes down to the question of whether you want to be able to see out the window at all. If the window is being used strictly for artistic purposes, opaque paints should work fine. The final consideration for painting on glass windows involves the issue of permanence. An air-dry paint might suit you well for the purpose.
