Pictorals on glass - Saran Wrap?
Can anyone tell me how this is done? I assume that you paint on the saran wrap and adhere to the back of your glass with size. Can this be used with images that are not entirely filled in and if so how?
I believe there is no shame in failure. Rather, the shame lies in the loss of all the things that might have been, but for the fear of failure.

I don't think I would go with Seran Wrap. Use decal sheet instead.

Kelly,
Try wax paper. Coat the wax paper with Latex paint, once dry, paint your picture.
After picture has dried, you may apply it to the glass using several different products as adhesive, Gold size(I suggest coating both surfaces) or damar varnish mixed with marine spar varish for a slow dry.
Once the painting is coated, you may apply it to the open area in your panel, making sure that it wont slide off, then wait for the adhesive to dry, once dry you should be able to peel off the wax paper from behind.
Good Luck on your project, if you've any questions you may call me at 1-800-531-3359.
