Do you want to paint the mirror or the frame?
If you want to paint designs on the face of the mirror, you can use an artist brush and paint on it. Removal can be done easily by scraping if you don't seal it.
You can use markers, acrylics, glass paints, leading strips, artists’ oil or any medium you would like to use. Acrylics and glass paints are the most suggested medium to use on painting on a mirror or to any glass wear because they dry quickly. Allow time to let it dry and there you go, you have your mirror painted. It is suggested that you do not use window cleaner on the painted portions if ever you attempt to clean the mirror as it can damage the paint.
If you want the paint designs not to be permanent, you can use a pretty mix thick of powdered tempra. It will stick to the glass and can easily be removed either through washing it off with water or through using a scraper. Anyone can paint a window or mirror for any room in your home as long as you read, as long as you are being resourceful – knowing some paintings tip, widening your imagination and engaging to arts. Painting on mirrors is just like basically painting on a canvas.
