Notes
If needed, set the glass aside to dry in sections to avoid smudging as you draw. Simply cap the squeeze bottle so that it does not dry out.
Note, the amount of Mod Podge and paint you need will depend on the size of the surface you are drawing on. You will have to estimate . . . and if you make extra, you can save it in squeeze bottles.
