The stone part of the scenery was a sheet of masonite so I had to layer multiple shades starting from the darkest in order to create texture on such a smooth surface. I blended some areas more than others and scumbled the rest to avoid any patterns. For the foliage I based it with a mixture of Orange and Raw Umber, once dried I scumbled on yellow ochre, lemon yellow, bright red, and more of the base colors to give it texture without looking uniformed.

First step was to marking the details onto the pre made wooden scenery flats
Next we had to make sure all the lines matched up once all the flats were connected together
Then we mixed a large pot of white with supersaturated blue to paint the majority of the back drop then we moved onto the more intricate bits

The production was a 1950s / 1960s dinner and the production consisted of a story told thought the songs of that time period

I sharpied the image directly on the plexi glass. I then used Crstyal Gel to get the base of my texture and mixed paint with Flexbond to get the coloring right.

1. Drawn on brown paper
2. Pounced onto canvas
3. Inked
4. Lay down texture with Rosco Crystal Gel
5. Add color with Rosco Super Sats.
6. Used Rosco Crystal Gel tinted with Tough Prime to create the stained glass leading

The grass and dirt were created by spraying tinted Jaxsan over carved foam then adhering on tinted sawdust with Flexbond and Crystal Gel. From there we used more Crystel Gel to secure bits of craft moss and tinted cork. The grass had to be able to be walked upon as well as travel to another theatre after our run.

The exterior walls were created by using a wash of Raw Umber to dirty the wood planks initially and then using a layer Elmer's glue underneath scenic paint to create the cracks. The whole unit was then distressed with "dirt" washes.

This image was cartooned a piece of butcher paper, and then hung behind the scrim. The paper was then used as a shadow stencil, and the red and blue was blocked in. Then numerous grey washed were used to create the depth of the statue.

This image was projected onto the muslin and lined in with black velour. Layers of off-broadway washes were used to shadow in the image without blocking the translucency. Lines were then redrawn for the final product with more velour.

"Metallurgy" was a brand new choreographed pieced by Susan Jaffe. The drop designed by Joe Tilford was painted on scrim in order to transluce. The drop itself is designed to resemble a dark polluted sky. Working with the paint charge, Reilly Miller, the process was as follows.

This was a float decorating project for a Mardi Gras parade float in Bugalusa, Louisiana. The float structure is cover by a framework of wooden bumps covered by stretched muslin cloth. The cloth is primed for scenery. The background colors are sprayed on to surface followed by a detailed finish by brush work
