HEM - Illuminating the Windows

There are roughly 500 tiny windowpanes on the High Energy Magic Building (HEM, a.k.a. The Squash Court), and it took a few days to cut them all out and fill with transparency.



I mixed greens, browns, yellows and grays to simulate dirty windows and replacement panes. Colors appear brighter here, but wash-out considerably when back lit.



Colored panes at top. Bottom window is all "clear" for comparison.


First wall done. I made the mistake of using a black marker to try blackening the cuts in the windows on the left. The black bled into the print, but I was able to fix the damage with colored pencils.


Back lit to check the cuts.


Next time - Doors and Assembly.
