Check out the video here --> Baltimore's Painted Screens
I was excited about the possibility and dove into the project with enthusiasm and a promise of great things to come.
Step one: Prime the screen, sketch the scene to be painted, and begin adding layers. This type of painting requires many layers to create bold colors.
Step two: Add many layers
Step Three: Once finished with all the layers, spray the entire screen front and back with an outdoor protective polyurethane.
Step Four: Install the painted window screen on the house. This one was installed on the kitchen window at the side of the house.
I had the best time painting Crystal Mill on the window screen. I have now been asked to paint the two front window screens for the same home. Here are the first three photos of the current process.

I will post more photos as I progress with these window screens. Enjoy :)
