Window Painting with Scot Campbell

Window painting is one of those art opportunities that most people overlook—until they realize how fun, profitable, and genuinely accessible it is. If you’ve ever wondered how to break into a creative side hustle that doesn’t require a huge investment or years of experience, this is the perfect place to start.

I’m rewinding to one of my favorite interviews with window-painting legend Scot Campbell—a man who’s painted over 70,000 windows in his 44-year career. Scot breaks down exactly how to get started in window painting: from pricing your first jobs and handing out flyers to painting bold, eye-catching designs fast.

He talks about how this fun, low-pressure art form can boost your income during the holidays and even open doors to bigger mural projects. Scot shares genius tips—like using paint rollers to save time and painting big, simple shapes that grab attention. His creative approach (and hilarious stories of painting in costume!) will leave you inspired to get out there and pitch your first window gig.
