Painting House Numbers

THIS VIDEO
This ongoing Video Diary by myself John Neal, sometimes known as John Longcroft-Neal, as the whim takes me.
TODAY’S SUBJECT IS: VLOG 106 Painting new house numbers for my neighbour and me.
GENERAL STUFF
I am retired from two careers of primary school teaching when I was deputy head of a Middle School and Primary School, and as a self employed Chalkboard Artist from 2002 until I reached the grand old age of 65 in 2016.
I play guitar and write songs and have written about 14 songs for the local BBC radio station. I run a weekly (weakly) evening Acoustic session at a local pub and have been doing so for 14 years now. I also started an afternoon acoustic session in a quite large cafe in Nuneaton. Both premises were former songwriting clients of mine.
Much of the music I use on this channel is taken from epidemicsound.com free to use on KZbin for a reasonable monthly fee, and sometimes I suffer you with my own music.
Gear that I use:
Mavic Mini Drone.
Iphone X for camera, generally front facing so I can see myself in frame. Super quality especially if I keep the lens clean.
Gimble is a Q2 Smooth by Zhiyun, I ought to use this more often because it was expensive.
Canon G7mk2
Rhode videomicro mic with iPhone (if necessary in the wind)
Rhode videomic to do voice over on computer
Video editing with Final Cut Pro X
Polarduck Mini Tripod for mobile phone. This is so good and under £10.00 I bought two.
Small Gorilla tripod but I tend to prefer the Polarduck.
Tall Tripod is a Velbon CX 540
Mono pod is a Manfrotto Compact MMC3-02 and is very useful for getting high angles that look like low flight drone shots and so easy to carry on my bike along with the mini tripod.

I am a follower of the Bahá'i Faith and some of my philosophical ideas may show through in comments that I make, but, by and large, I’ll not make direct reference to my beliefs.

I also enjoy gardening but lay no claims to have any expertise, and you might catch me out in the countryside of Warwickshire and nearby Leicestershire on a walk with my wife or on a bike ride.
Please comment below to inform further plans for my vlogs. I’d love to hear from you. If you don’t you will just get whatever bubbly ideas float to the surface of my slightly muddled elderly mind.

Hi John, it doesn't require just a good brush, but artistic skill. I could never paint those numbers so easily as you did.

[@JRLNeal]

Too kind Ted. Thanks and I suppose practice makes fairly competent.

[@ckwind1971]

I've never seen you before. I happened upon this video looking for instructions on painting numbers, I could see from the start that I probably can't replicate your beautiful paint strokes and was totally entranced by the information and delivery. I just want to listen to you talk for hours ☺️❣️ Edit: I'm going to try the numbers though 👍

[@paulwaite2219]

HI John great as usual. Also Daffodils and Blackbird what could be better for me.

[@JRLNeal]

Glad you noticed the Daffs.

[@ckwind1971]

A good brush would certainly help 😉 a steady, practiced hand would also be, er... Handy? One point I am questioning. I'm left handed and all my strokes are backwards to yours 🤔😩 any ideas? Tytyty

[@89dougc]

Interesting as always John. Have a great week!

[@JRLNeal]

Thanks Doug.
