Are there any tricks to painting on a T-shirt? How do you get the paint to set and will it be permanent if you let it dry? Does it work to use a grocery bag between the layers?

You definitely need fabric paint, available at craft stores like Michaels. Do put a plastic bag between the layers.
Hi,
It is best to use fabric paint and fabric brushes and an all-cotton t-shirt.
You would put a piece of cardboard between the layers.
After the paint dries, whenever you wash it, turn the shirt inside out.
Never use bleach on the shirt. In fact, I would hand wash the shirt, to keep it at its best.
My favorite way to paint shirts is to use stencils. There are other ways to paint them also.

Go to craft stores and get fabric paint.
Buy fabric medium to add to acrylic paint to make it permanent
Use fabric paint and put cardboard under the shirt layers to keep it from soaking through and to keep a stable work surface for clean lines
Check out YouTube for videos on how to do T shirt painting.
You could literally watch them all day!! The painting, if done right, and if you hand wash, or wash on delicate, inside out, should last.
When I did shirts (which was years ago) I used to use something thick and plastic--like a an old cutting board between the front and back for both stability and so that it won't bleed through.
You don't want to use anything that will wrinkle or leak,
This is decent starter video!!
