How to make a projection screen that's also a painting

Step 6 Be artistic

Now for the hard part; composing the painting. I found this old poster in various shades of orange that served as inspiration, so I divided the painting into three vertical fields. I played around with a lot of scenes before settling on four in different sizes. I also decided to have a couple of horizontal divider lines so that Steve's torso would have something to rest on. For a long while I also wanted a quote from the movie in there, but I couldn't find a satisfying font so I dropped the idea (which was probably for the best since it would've been maddeningly fiddly to paint the letters, and I probably would've smudged them as well).

I didn't trust my abilities to mix shades consistently so I just got the three different oranges that were available (acrylic colors) at my local paint pusher.
