  • 1.  Painting windows on plywood

    Posted 03-01-2017 01:25

    Can someone give me the best colors and techniques to paint or create windows on plywood. There is no possibility for backlighting to make it look like daylight, and I don't need to paint an exterior scene behind the windows. Thanks.

    Here is one of the non-working windows on our 12 Angry Jurors Set.  The backing is a blend of gray, white and light blue painted on poster board to simulate sky, the window "glass" is a drop ceiling light fixture cover, the "window" is foam and then the whole thing is trimmed.  While looking a little rough up close, it reads very well from the audience.
