Following on from David’s provocative tip about painting with darkness, I’m going to make my own contribution with some clips I filmed while he was painting St. Martha’s head.
Just click Play > in the box on your right. It may take a few moments to load – because it’s a 13 minute stained glass painting demonstration – and then you’ll see exactly what David means.
“Painting with light“?
No!
The whole time – as Brian Laughlin commented – you, the glass painter, are playing “hide and seek” with light and darkness.
P.S. This is a “13 minute demonstration”, filmed over several days, and then brought together in 96 minutes of close-up online video plus step-by-step photographs right here.

Hi guys!
Thank you SO much for allowing us in to watch you work. It’s amazing to see how delicately but inexorably St Martha’s face takes shape. It’s a privilege to be able to watch artists like yourselves at work from such close range. Congragulations to the camera operator. You have hands steady enough for neurosurgery!
Best wishes,
Pat
That is such a beautiful video. Thank you so much for making this available – it shows a breathtaking attention to detail!
Stephen and David,
Many thanks for your great video preview, truly inspirational and I’ll report back on my albeit slow progess.
Best regards,
Michael
