How do I texture paint with glow in Blender?
First, you need to paint the emission map of your shader : Make sure to use black as blank color when creating the texture, so it doesn’t emit light when nothing is painted. I don’t use the Principled BSDF’s emission here because there’s no strength input.
How can I make a part of a texture glow?
The emission is added to your previous shader: Keep the emission strength between 0 and 1. You don’t have to necessarily make a glow texture, it is possible to extract it from your color texture with nodes inside Cycles to make a procedural glow:
Can you use glow paint on acrylic painting?
I recommended you apply the glow paint over the acrylic paint and not mix the two together. Also, the glow paint works best when the acrylic paint under layer is a lighter color, like white. However, in the painting tutorial below, I found that the dark under painting of the galaxy provided an interesting effect with the glow paint.
How does glow in the dark paint work?

Where does the glow come from in Blender?
The glow itself comes from his viewport which is in rendered mode: And using Eevee which has a bloom effect that can be seen in the viewport: You can do the same with Cycles, except it doesn’t have any SFX visible in the viewport, you would need to do it through compositing using a glare node in fog glow mode:
How do you change the UV map in Blender?
All primitive mesh objects we can add in Blender comes with a default UV Map, but If you have changed the shape into something else you will have to modify the UV Map. We do this in the UV Editor.
