Paint Someone You Love Doing Something He Loves!

A reverse glass painting is done in several short steps, just a little at a time. The paint that you put on the glass first needs time to dry before the next paint is applied to the glass (in order to keep the edges intact). Since the painting will be viewed from the side of the glass opposite of the side that you’re painting on, the very last thing that ‘happened’ in the picture, such as the light reflection in an eye, will be the first thing that goes into the painting. A shadow is another thing that would enter a ‘picture’ last. The shadow too, will go in the painting early. Unlike painting in oils or acrylics on canvas, the background of the picture will be the very last thing to paint.

In an effort to teach you how, I’ll use as an example, my 12-year-old grandson fishing from the shore of Lake Delta as a subject.

  1. Get a GOOD photo of this event happening. Get it enlarged to a size that will be good for the painting. For a finished painting, 16" x 20", I can see an 8" x 10" zoomed in, up close and personal photo of the boy holding the fishing pole being a good size. Now, while you are thinking about the background, slide that 8" x 10" under the 16' x 20" glass pane into the position where you want it. Hold it in place while you carefully turn the pane of glass over, with the photo held in place with one hand. Lay it down on the table, keeping the photo in place, in relation to the glass. Now tape it into place, onto the glass, all four sides, while looking at the backside of the photo. You may want to tape over the edges of the glass with masking tape so that your hands don’t get cut while handling the glass pane. When you turn the glass pane over again, your photograph should be right where you are going to need it!...
