Hi all,
I've been researching about scrims and at first, I thought that's what I wanted but now I'm not so sure...
I want a fabric that I can paint to achieve a scenery effect but then also, when directly lit, the fabric just glows that color and you can't see what's painted on it. So, I think it's sort of like combining painted muslin and a cyc? Is this possible? Maybe I need scrim and then another fabric behind it that the light can be aimed at? The potential problem with that would be that the scrim would be the facing on a 'bridge' set, so lighting underneath it (onto another fabric or something behind the scrim) might be tricky. I'm worried about just using scrim because I don't actually want to see what's behind the scrim, I just want it to 'glow' or display what's painted on it.
Thanks for the help!
