Undercoats

They hit the glass too hard

Right, in his last post, Stephen challenged you to do it with one hand tied behind your back.

Undercoating, I mean.

And several people wrote how maybe they were heavy-handed, because no matter how they tried, their glass always spun away across the light-box.

So I reckon the best thing now is to show you what we mean.

Sounds good to you?

Good, so let’s get going.

Hi Pete and Lisa,

Here’s a link to download the MP4 file.

Since you plan to download it (not play it online), it’s quite big – 54 Mb big – because that way you’ll get good quality.

So please get it down once to your computer (maybe 15 minutes or so), then loop it from there.

It’s here.

I hope your time goes well.

All the best,

Stephen Byrne
