We wanted to use primarily soft tones to intensify the nature of the show.

We wanted to find the balance between surrealism and realism expressed within the show through a minimalistic yet complex design.

We wanted to highlight the idea of hope in a bleak world through a mixture of grungy and bright appearances that facilitate emotion in an audience.

Painted Stage and Scenery with Rosco paints...

This project was a final for my Solano Community College Stagecraft class. The steps: Built the muslin flat; transferred image via grid system; approached painting from lights to darks, allowing transparency.

First back ground wash followed heavy pat of blue follow my highlighting with lighter blue and followed by sponging the lighted area and platter of lighter blue .

These examples are from a painting workshop lead by Jenny Knott at Solano College. The class painted color wheels learning about the 6 primary colors in ROSCO paint. Next they learned about how far to thin paint and still have color.Lastly the students applied the process by painting a panel. 2nd day the class learned about the ROSCO Texture products then had a hands on lab working with each. There is a class shot during the texture workshop and some foam rocks/bricks made by using foam coat.

This painting was developed during a workshop presented by Jenny Knott. In 3 hours she lead our group step by step through gridding, transfer, and transparency painting methods using Rosco, Off Broadway, paint. The workshop was AMAZING. Many of us have never painted before and yet produced beautiful, expressive paintings. Thank You Jenny and Thank You Rosco for offering such a wonderful workshop!
