Windows


Karen designed the windows. First of all a basic frame was put into all 3 of the holes left for them.

Once she had added the rest of the wood to make them look like art nouveau design. She then painted them with a black base coat taking care not to get it on the wallpaper.

Once that had been done I then painted a layer of dark brown on the black with scenic paint. On top of this an orange brown colour went on over the top. Quite a thin watery coat was applied.
Then another layer of dark brown was coated on with quite a dry brush so that the other colour showed through and gave the impression of grain. Karen mentioned to me that she would sand them down a little and varnish them.
