00:01It's under colorist, and there again, when you say colorist, there's quite a bit involved in it because, as I
00:10say, there's so many things that we have to watch out for in the making of a window.
00:17For instance, this is the design for this window in Brookline, and this is a section that you can see
00:23right there, which I'm looking for as glass for the buildings.
00:28The colorist, as a general rule, your background colors are your deep blues and your reds, and the corner is
00:35also noted for its blues.
00:38And the way this is a north window, you more or less, it's probably a little bit warmer sketch than
00:43you ordinarily would see for an east window, which is a morning light, or a west window, and a southwest
00:50window, which is an afternoon light.
00:54Now, see, this is the roof of this building, this color that I want to put in.
01:07The funny thing about cutting, that sometimes if you don't have confidence, the glass seems to know it.
01:31I'm going to take the roof edges off because the painter paints because he cut a lot of pistols off
01:40his brush with the sharp edges.
01:50I want to see.
01:51I want to see.
01:51That would be the roof.
01:54I want to see.
01:56This is the side of the building now.
01:59I generally try to put the darker light on the back so that the lightness in the front will bring
02:04you more or less into the window.
02:05Into it.
02:07…
02:34I know.
02:39The details of the design are painted on the glass with ferric oxide in a gum arabic or damar varnish
02:47base.
02:48Ferric oxide is also used for shading and as a density against which stencils can be brushed.
02:55Then we start with a heavier mixture like that.
03:06And we use a badger, this long, long-haired brush that comes from the animal, from the badger animal.
03:18So now, that's it. That's it. That's it. Everything. And we can, by adding more water to it, we can
03:27make it thinner.
03:33And we can also give it a different texture.
03:37We can, if we wanted to, we can make streaks.
03:40If that happens to be pleasing to us for whatever else we may want to do, we can do things
03:45like that.
03:45We can stipple it. That gives it another texture.
03:49And when this is dry, one can also, aside from stenciling, one can rub it with the palm of the
03:56hand, you know, like that.
03:59When this is dry, not before.
04:01It does not have to be sleeved in detail, what the cartoonists did.
04:06We are fortunate in that we have been able, in this story at least since the beginning, to follow our
04:16own pens.
04:18So there's a little bit of the idea of, let freedom reign, not develop into slavish copyists, which is the
04:27bade of many people.
04:29But the main truth is, have we liked what we did over these years?
04:38And I have only one ringing answer, and that is yes, indeed.
04:43Absolutely.
04:44All right.
04:44All right, You can flip it over here.
04:44Okay.
