This class is for first time and intermediate acrylic artists. Students will learn the technique of painting on glass. You do not need to be a professional to create beautiful glass paintings. This technique can also be applied to mirrors. The acrylic paints will dry in 20 minutes to allow for layering paint colors to achieve opaque to bold or for a 3 dimensional effect. Take your artwork home it is ready to display on any wall or hang in the window for a stained glass effect.
