It isn\u2019t hard to argue that the most versatile type of paint is acrylic paint.<\/p>\n

From acrylic paints quick drying time, easy and quick transport capacity, long lifespan, easy manipulation through mediums, water resistance, easy clean up, minimal investment, and ability of use of different types of media in combination with acrylic paint it is undisputed that it is an exception choice for painting.<\/p>\n

Acrylic paint is also a great option for beginner painters \u2013 just make sure you get the essential supplies!<\/p>\n

Recently one of the more popular social outings amongst groups of friends has been \u201cpaint nights\u201d.<\/p>\n

A quick log into Facebook and events of this sort are popping up all around with people who have never picked up a paintbrush in their life RSVPing \u201cyes\u201d to dive headfirst into a painting experience.<\/p>\n

How exciting is it that an art form which has been around for centuries is suddenly exploding as if painting has just been discovered?<\/p>\n

It is the new cool thing to do, and you cannot help but appreciate that people are now becoming interested in painting.<\/p>\n

A very cool concept in the new \u201cpaint night\u201d phenomenon is the creating of glassware events.<\/p>\n

Instead of painting on a canvas, (with acrylics since the artwork is transported into a car to go home once the event is over) attendees paint on glassware, like a wineglass or plates.<\/p>\n

Once you have painted your glassware at the event you are instructed to bring the piece home and finish the process in your oven so as to \u201cbake\u201d your artwork on permanently.<\/p>\n

If you are not interested in attending one of the social events that are available since they typically cost a decent price to attend, it is relatively easy to have your own glassware \u201cpaint night\u201d, or day, or morning… in the pleasure of your own home.<\/p>\n

You can even plan your own fun paint night with friends at home if you wanted!<\/p>\n

Using acrylic paint on glass is a simple and fun art form, as long as you have the right supplies and follow some fairly easy instructions on how to complete your project.<\/p>\n

Other than a wine glass, there are many other types of glass that acrylic paint can be used to decorate.<\/p>\n

Some examples of other various glassware to paint on can be vases, various bottles (think mason jars!), mugs, bowls, cake stands, planters, pictures, windows, mirrors, and faux stained glass.<\/p>\n

Imagine the possibilities to create a personalized gift for someone special!<\/p>\n

It is extremely important to remember to only paint the outside of any glassware items that you will be using to eat or drink out of.<\/p>\n

You do not want anyone ingesting your painted piece, especially, if it is a gift you are giving. Non-toxic paint is marketed for its non-toxic effects on breathing, but no paint should ever be ingested.<\/p>\n

Ever.<\/p>\n

No matter what.<\/p>\n

Unless it is edible finger paint that you\u2019ve created for a toddler made with a base of whipped cream (yum).<\/p>\n

Your supplies that you will need to paint on your glass piece ranges from the piece itself to what you will want to use to clean up your piece and space you are working on.<\/p>\n
