The Lost Art of Hand-Painted Signs

Painting a traditional hand-painted Boulangerie sign in freezing weather — learning brush control, paint flow, and patience the hard way!

Welcome to the channel!
This was one of my early videos — I’m still learning to talk while I paint (it’s harder than it looks!) and figuring out this whole editing thing.

In this session, I’m hand-painting a Boulangerie sign using traditional signwriting techniques, sharing what it’s really like to practice brush control when your hands are freezing!

🎨 What You’ll See:
• Real Practice, Not Perfection: Playing with paint viscosity, chisel-edge strokes, and steady brush control.
• The Hull Story: My true tale of painting a sign in a freezing East Yorkshire winter — including the sound that told me my hands were completely numb!
• Camera Wobbles & Honest Moments: I’m learning to project my voice, stay on topic, and bring you along for the process.
