• Always start a reverse glass painting by creating a subject on one side of the glass. You will have to be extremely careful while performing this task as everything you draw on the glass will be a mirror image of the actual subject. Hence, you will have to be extremely careful during detailing of the subject and its portrayal.
• Make sure the glass you choose for painting is flawless and scratch free. If it is not, the subject will not be able to have a clear image. Moreover, also try to use a dust free and clean surrounding area to perform this particular artwork.
