For this University Production of South Pacific, I was in charge of painting props for the show. The image provided is a final production photo of the "I'm Gonna Wash that Man right out of my Hair" Scene. Every piece of this shower was applied a base coat - then a broom brushed gray was applied over to give it a wear and tear aspect.

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.

Image was sketches and then pounced onto butcher paper. The pounced images was chalked onto the velvet and then outlined with super sat white. Layers of super sat were used to build up the white under painting (shown), and then colored in with layers of off-broadway. Edges where cleaned up with black 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
