Question about glass painting

mommyof2littlemisters · 11-20-2001, 06:39 PM

I was wanting to paint the large picture window in the office I work for the holidays. When I was a kid we use to paint on glass like school windows for holidays or homecoming. We used powder tempera paints mixed with liquid dishwashing soap. This made for easy cleanup. I can't find powder paints anywhere. I did fine liquid tempera paints though. Will this work and does anyone have any experience doing this. Just looking for input on this project.

I have never seen the powdered paints. I have seen the liquid kind used on windows a lot.
As far as clean-up goes, I find that it is best to use plain water on the paint itself and follow up with window cleaner.
