The Beastly Lion of Wolsey Towers – Episode #2

Notes

OK, so about two minutes in, the glass painter gives himself a test patch: this is a test patch for the tracing paint he’s mixing.

Four minutes in, having tried to trace, the glass painter notices that his palette is far too wet. So he removes some paint from around the edges. Otherwise it would be impossible to control the tracing paint as you will see in Episode #3 …
