Learn about the centuries-old art of reverse glass painting and create your own reverse painting! Choose from three images, and paint it using acrylic paint on clear acetate.

Reverse painting techniques have been used since the 16th century. In reverse painting, the details are painted first and then the larger shapes. It’s the reverse order of how one usually paints on paper or canvas where we start with the background, add medium to large shapes and then details. Once the image has been painted, it is viewed from the opposite side through the clear acetate.

We will be painting together based on video instructions from Pop up Art School.  If you are unable to join us on the 21st but are interested in creating a painting, you can still sign up.  You can pick up a kit from the YA room starting on the 21st, and the video link will be available for viewing through August 19th.

After you have registered, please fill out the Google form to select your preferred image.
