Yep...I did a 5 year apprenticeship in Portsmouth, England in 1965 and still doing it to this day. Along the way Iv'e learnt airbrushing, computer graphics, murals, canvas painting and loved every minute of it...most commercial craft on Earth, always somebody wanting something done and never been short of orders.
I've been sign painting now, for 35 years myself. Educated in art school in Chicago as well. My father was a sign painter for many years too. This video is the best documentary on the industry I've seen to date! I wish this gentleman & family all the best!
Thank you for the video, we can learn so much from our elders if we just watch and listen. Really awesome work Ches, great respect from the son. Beautiful
Matty Watson I am amazed at people that can freehand sign painting my talent is very lacking I do vinyl and some pounce pattern painting but that’s it.
I am a window painter looking to learn how to paint quality hand painted signs. Could you suggest a book that would list the common tools needed for this art form? I have ordered a few brushes I use with my window painting. I have know idea where to start.
