When I'm painting windows

Window painting at the Prins Bernhardschool in Nijverdal.

What you need (at least what I used):
Inspiration, plain acrylic paint, a brush and some patience. I just put some paint on a palette and started painting. This was the result.

i was wondering what kind of paint you used. i would like to get some paint for a permanent piece on a window. thank you

[PuppyZwolle]

@13325poop If you want to get a permanent piece you can still use artists acrylic paint. You need to be careful when cleaning the window as water does affect the painting specially over time. You could use 'glass paint'. It is also an acrylic but will withstand 'abuse' much much better. You can even mix the two.

@thewayitaint Thanks Fred. I'm contemplating to redo the whole scene. Make it a bit more permanent. I'll try to record it so you can see the new project.

@PuppyZwolle ill keep my eyes open 4 it

@misslolapup Cool plan. As you have seen I 'remodel' every season so I have some experience with removing the paint even partially.

Artists acrylic paint is easy to remove with hot water and a little soap. The soap prevents it from sticking again to much after it cools down. You can use a sponge to make the windows wet and a scraper (a Stanley knife blade in a holder) to remove all paint without much trouble at all and no damage to the glass.

I hope you will make a vid of your project. ;^)

could you recommend the paint to use to ensure it comes off the windows fairly easily? i'm planning on doing a fall inspired mural for the windows where i work and it has to come off! :)

thanks!
