I spent the entire day today covering panel frames with painted landscape fabric.  I tried cutting down the production time by painting the fabric after it was on the panel, but unfortunately, the wood graining tool just doesn't work right without a hard even surface to push against.  I ended up having to repaint 2 of the panels that I tried experimenting on.  Then I found out that in the heat of the day the glazing that I had been using up to this point set up too quickly...  I have to do the glazing part of the painting early in the morning when it is still cool outside.
