Gather Your Supplies: Before diving into your holiday masterpiece, gather the necessary supplies. You can honestly use many different times of paint/ markers to decorate the windows. I prefer to use tempera paint as it just washed right off! I love Crayola Premier paint. However, you can also use water based acrylic paint, paint pens, or chalk markers! Choose a color palette that perhaps compliments the surrounding area/ decor, or you can keep is classic and simple and just use all white!
Sketch/ Gather Inspiration For Your Design: Start by sketching your design on paper to visualize how it will look on your windows. It would be just something real quick to help you with layout, and then you can reference other imagery while you work. You could consider more classic holiday motifs like snowflakes, ornaments, or festive landscape. You could also choose to paint some of the iconic holiday characters around this time of year- I have loved painting My favorite imagery has been painting a winter village. It's festive yet not specifically Christmas. I recently painted the windows at my local library and opted to paint a woodland creatures winter scene, as they had expressed they would like the leave the windows up throughout the winter, not just December. Here is a step by step tutorial for painting your own winter burrow scene from a recent blog post. You can find a link to my drawing guide for winter village drawing guide here, as well as my woodland creatures guide here.
Prepare the Windows: If your windows are notably dirty, it would probably be a good idea to clean them before painting! You also might want to lay down a drop cloth, or just a poster board along the window ledge to catch any paint drips.
Get Painting: With your design in mind and your windows prepped, it's time to bring your vision to life. If you want to begin with the end in mind- and would like to use a scraper to take the window paint off, you can add a pump or two of dishsoap to the paint for easy clean up! Now, just keep in mind, the more soap you add, the thinner/ more diluted your tempera paint will be. If you would like paint that is more opaque, then just use the tempera paint as it is. Gather a mixture of brushes to vary line thickness. I like having a few brushes of each size/ shape. I mostly end up using flat brushes to paint windows. I use large + medium flat brushes for painting in larger areas, and medium + smaller round brushes for smaller details. Once you get painting you will discover what brushes work best for you!
5. Share the Joy: Your painted windows are sure to bring smiles to those passing by. Share the joy with your community by taking photos and sharing them through your newsletter or social media. You can consider organizing a window-painting event with your students to make it a shared experience. There is no better feeling than knowing you are spreading joy for other's to enjoy- what a special feeling you can share with your students.
6. Clean-Up and Removal: When the holiday season comes to an end, remove the window paint using a damp cloth or window cleaner. Washable window paint is designed to come off easily, leaving your windows clean and ready for the next creative endeavor. If you used soap in your tempera paint you can use a large paint scraper to scrape the paint off the windows. You can also use a paint scraper to take to acrylic paint off, you just have to spray the paint with water first to loosen the paint. Here is the window scraper I recommend!
Painting your windows for the holidays is a wonderful way to express your creativity, spread festive cheer, and bring a touch of magic to your surroundings. Whether you're creating a winter wonderland or a scene straight from your imagination, let your holiday spirit shine through your painted windows to spread joy and love to others! Happy Creating!
From the latest insider build windows 11, I am not able to use Win + R mspaint.exe as the new Microsoft Paint app is available pre-installed. Somehow I thought uninstall and reinstall the app will solve the issue (old windows 10 behavior , from optional features or from store you can install paint after uninstall) but it is not so. I see the paint app available to other user's logged in to the PC, only my login where i uninstall seems to be affected that I can't re-install back the paint app. I did a couple of workarounds, could get the old executable of mspaint.exe and put it in system32 folder at the moment as a workaround and also i am able to bundle up the new Microsoft Paint app and able to install it from the new microsoft store preview as workaround. I had to do these workarounds as the new Paint app is not available in the new Microsoft Store preview or in optional features, I want to report this issue for Windows 11 Pro.
Wait for the Windows 11 final Oct release, the new paint app (with dark mode) will be available or try updating to the latest insider preview build 22458.1000. This has brought back the shortcuts for paint app (via App alias ==> Settings > Apps > Apps & features > More settings > App execution aliases). I see two shortcuts now paint.exe and pbrush.exe. Both are working fine from Win + R. Thanks
Is it possible to, or is it an intended future addition to be able to have open images in multiple undockable windows? I frequently want to cut and paste from one image to another / edit images side by side and I don't see a way to do this currently.
When you open multiple images, you can switch between them by clicking the thumbnail in the Image list at the top of the screen. This should resolve the cut/paste problem you mentioned. As for editing images side-by-side, no you can't unless you want to increase the canvas size enough to accommodate both images. Here's a tutorial on this technique:
To explain a bit, I use Paint.NET a lot because it is very efficient at doing certain tasks - such as selecting particular parts of images and superimposing / manipulating these parts as layers. The software seems very well designed with a focus on making otherwise complex procedures simple, and thus maximising time efficiency.
I frequently have many images open at the same time and it keeps occurring to me that being able to have multiple panes on the screen at the same time, or even just being able to switch between open images rapidly with keyboard shortcuts would further speed up the kind of tasks that Paint.NET lends itself to.
Hi, I love Paint.NET. I use it all the time, and have donated. Could you please consider making it possible to be able to see two images at the same time? I would really like to see both at the same time, for instance today I am trying to reverse-engineer a fuzzbox I made 20 years ago, by looking at the front and the back of the circuit card at the same time, and tag the parts I have scribed into the schematic with a transparent yellow mark on each image. It makes me lose my orientation to have to click between the single images. Please look into having multiple windows. Thanks!
Using a fine (220 grit) paper, carefully sand down any debris or imperfections from the vinyl and surrounding trim. This will allow for better adhesion of the primer, and ensure the smoothest finish possible.
Now for the fun part! First, wipe down the window with a damp cloth to remove any dust from the spray primer. Shake the aerosol can, and spray per the instructions (mine said to hold 6-10 inches away from the surface, and use short overlapping passes).
The paint went on beautifully, great coverage with no sputtering or drips. The fumes are very strong though, so wearing a respiratory mask is important. We also opened windows in the house and had fans going to circulate the air.
It used to work fine until a couple of weeks ago. Now I get the following popup "Adobe Acrobat cannot start the image editing application you've specified. Verify the image editing application location on the Content Editing panel in Preferences". I did as instructed...and added the path to MS Paint program. I restarted the Adobe DC several times, but keep getting the same popup. Every time I go to check the Preferences, it shows the correct path. Adobe just fails to open MS Paint.
I get the same message, but I am using Adobe Illustrator. Up until a few weeks ago it worked, now recently it doesn't, nothing in the help files. I have uninstalled several times and repaired installation at least 3x, but nothing helps. Is this a recent defect? Version 2023.003.20284
I cannot open my microsoft paint and the same pop up keeps occurring. Adobe Acrobat cannot start the image editing application you've specified. Verify the image editing application location on the Content Editing panel in Preferences".
I am having the same problem but my message says: Before editing an image from Acrobat, go to the Content Editing panel in Preferences and click Choose Image Editor to indicate where an image editing application (for example, Adobe Photoshop) is located on your computer.

I concentrated on the corners because those areas were the worst on our windows. Scrape up as much loose paint as possible. If you have large gaping holes or divots in the wood, you can fill these holes with wood putty and a putty knife to even out the surface.
