"JASON PAINTER: Hi. I'm Jason. Today, we've learned how to paint a simple design on glass. We've learned that glass is really hard to paint on. It takes a lot of touchups and a lot of back and forth. The final design from what we started with. The most important thing from now is the care. If you want to keep it looking as good as it does, dishwasher--is not good to put it in the dishwasher, just hand towel, dry wash. Mine, I won't be washing a lot 'cause it's going to be for my art supplies. So, I always have it sitting there. But if you do plan on using it, just try to keep it on the dishwasher. Try to keep it on the dishwasher. Try to keep from scrubbing it, scouring it with a Brillo pad, you know, just keep it nice and soft and gentle when you dry it. And it should--it stood--stay good for as long as you want to keep it on there. If you do ever want to take it off, you can take a straight razor blade and just scrape it off, it will come off and you can start over. If you don't like it, that's what's nice about glass also, you can change and change as your skill improves. So, we learned how to paint on glass today, that's all for now."
