Not knowing for sure, I would think you can not paint with acrylic on reverse glass.

Someone else with experience of doing that might say you can and that it's OK to do so.

I don't think it will grip the glass, nor flow out to the glass from a brush well enough.

But...you can always try it on a small piece of test glass.

Do not use it.
Acrylic can be peeled of the glass like a non sticking piece of chewing gum.

Thank you for your sugestions, I'll probably going to use a opaque glass paint.

Why not paint the pictorial on a separate board and mount it behind the glass (with a spacer so it doesn't touch the glass)?
