| I saw some beautiful paintings on screens on the week-end. Does anyone know of a web site for beginners on painting on screens? How you prepare the screen, etc. |

| Cathy, I have only painted on Solar Screen which is woven with two strands instead of one single wire. It gives a flatter surface, but as you can see in the photo, it still has holes. I did not prep the screen in any way and it is so easy to use! In my project there was no need for a back ground, so it went even faster, but no more than two or three coats was ever used and the shading and high lighting was a breeze. I don't know if you need to prep metal screening, you might try YouTube for more information or maybe someone else here can help. You do need to have a folded paper towel under the screen as you paint and check it often it see if the paint is being pushed through, if so change to a clean area of towel. I used a spray sealer when done, and was totally happy with the results. Hope this help or you find what you need! Belle  |

| Cathy, I purchased mine from Lowes online site as no other chain store carries it that I could find. Just checked and it is listed as Item # 45067 and Part# 72222 on Lowes online site. Any Solar Screen would work, but I chose charcoal was I didn't want a totally black background and it seems to be made of a plastic or some other material, not metal wire. Very flat and tight weave. I purchased a huge roll, 40" X 84' long as I am thinking about doing a free standing, painted screen for my DD home. I hope this helps! Claudia |
