    Hi all!

    I have just finished doing 2 windows for a butchers shop which has recently been refurbished. He was on the same wavelength as me and loved the idea of traditional handpainting!
    I dont think many people see anyone painting backwards on windows much these days!
    Everyone is obsessed with mahlsticks! 😎

    Thankyou!
    Yep! Its had the varnish treatment! It took bloomin ages cos it was 2 of the same! I tried to keep them both at the same stage, the blending on glass is quite tricky I found because what you see on the inside isnt what it looks like on the other side! I had to keep nipping in and out! they took just over a week, but some days you can only do a little bit so they are not really whole days! 😮
