Here are five tips on how to paint a window
1. Make a square or a rectangle.
2. Fill it with what you see through one of the windows of your home.
3. Don’t worry about it being pretty. Just look and try to reproduce a few elements.
4. Don’t tense up by thinking you’re making a work of art.
5. Have fun, this is just practice!
