You paint much like I was taught. My father taught me and he learned years ago from a career painter - before painting became something "anyone can do." Practice, a steady hand and plenty of paint sure help when cutting a nice straight line. Thanks for your clear demonstration of good technique.
I also like that your sweater matched the paint quite well which added to the overall neat appearance. Why do so many painters show up at the job in the morning covered in paint?
Thanks for your story about how you learned glazing & painting.

I did show up in the morning in my clean white sweater. I just happened to shoot this video at the end of the day when my sweater was completely covered in paint.
In this case the sashes have been removed from the window for complete refurbishing, including deglazing, wood repairs, reglazing and painting in the shop. Each sash is painted separately. After the paint is completely dry the sashes are hung back in the window frame in the wall.
It's possible to paint all of the interior of both sashes in place, moving the sashes up and down to get to tops and bottoms of the meeting rails, then go outside and do the same for the exterior.
Would it not be best to show the window hung??? I wanted to know how you paint the two separate halves. Which half first or do you do both at once or let one dry first?
