If you're going to try your hand at reverse painting on glass, then you probably already know exactly what you are going to use for a pattern. You may still be thinking about how you can adapt it to suit your need, but I'll bet you already know the main subject of your painting. If you want to do a reverse glass painting, On the other hand, if you want to do a reverse glass painting, but do not know where to begin, try painting what you really love about life, or are avidly interested in. This way, there will at least be a spark to keep going through the hard parts! You're also more likely to do a better job of something you love.

Horses you say? Lighthouses? Roses? The possibilities are endless. Use your imagination!

O K, now that were all on the same page, lets figure this out! We have a postcard from our vacation, or a photo of a dear relative fishing, what ever it is that you want to work from, but its only 4" x 6" large. You could send it out to a photo company and get it enlarged to a poster size. That answer is all right, but somewhat expensive and time consuming. Sometimes it does take some time for me to think out a painting, but more often than not, when Im jazzed about painting, Im jazzed!, and I want to work on it now! You could take the photo to your local office supply store, and see what they can do with it. Now thats not usually too expensive, and you may get more of a variety of sizes to work with. Remember, you do not need a photographic quality paper for this adventure. All you are going to need is a picture that you can see, up to and including some detail. One more way to get the size you want is to print out a multi-page poster on an all in one center. And yet my final method of enlarging a photo to the size you would need to work with, is by using an opaque projector. If you are planning on doing a lot of painting, it might be worth the $70 to several hundred dollars that youll need to invest, but a word of caution on that. I have one, and I dont use it nearly as often as I use the all in one, and at a comparative price!

Now a few lines, only if youre using the all in one center. Take the four, six or eight pages that you printed out, and trim off the edges. Use a large table top to arrange them into the picture you wanted. Carefully tape them together, so that every thing is lined up and even. If it isnt lined up nicely, you might end up putting three arms on one person. Go ahead and laugh, yes Ive done it.

Once again, were back on the same page, but further along in the plan. Lay the picture on top of that large table you were working on, face up, so you can look at it. Take your piece of glass or acetone, and lay it over the picture. Move it around as much as possible, keeping the picture within the limits of the glass your main focus. You may have thought that the main subject should be centered. Thats not always so. If its your grandchild, dont have him or her standing up high in the painting unless he or she has something to stand on! A lot of buildings are beautiful to look at, but they might be more alluring set part way back in a reverse glass painting.

Now that you have a good placement to build on, get out the tape again. If there are edges of parer an inch or two wide, this is helpful. You can fold them over the glass, and firmly tape them in place. If there aren't any edges, this is just a little tricky. Reach under the glass, and hold the photo in place while turning the glass and the photo over at the same time, and laying it on the table. Now tape it in place from the back side of the photo.

Now you are ready to begin your reverse painting on glass. You will want a work area that can remain undisturbed for days at a time. This is in case other things, like work and life should come up, and there isnt time to paint. Take it slow. Think about what the last thing to come into the painting was. That is what needs to be painted first. It works exactly the opposite of an oil painting on canvass. So what are you waiting for? Get busy and start painting!
