How to Paint a Stained Glass Coat of Arms
Let’s be serious from the start: heraldry is difficult. It demands precision. If someone thinks they can “crank out” stained glass coats of arms and make their fortune, this is not for them.
Nor is this for anyone who thinks there must be one single way of approaching all stained glass heraldry; different coats of arms may need different techniques.
So, now I’ve deterred a lot of people, let me assure you this documentary is devoted to giving you the big collection of techniques you’ll need to do well with your stained glass painting. Below you’ll find a video of the whole sequence you can use to paint a stained glass coat of arms.
