The attached photos show my process of painting the marble, Georgian inspired, floor for the production of Lady Windermere's Fan for Pittsburgh Irish & Classical. I was the Scenic Charge for this production and the floor was my first project for the set. I began by laying in the "background" marble, segmented by each rectangle of Masonite.

A translucent muslin drop and another opaque drop on opposite sides of an askew comic book style ground plan. This production was done in the Herbst Theater at Wright State University.

Various backings

The first picture we painted white to start with then masked off the areas we wanted to stay white then sprayed it over the top.
The second is made from strips of shark tooth gauze, the strips where dipped in watered down paints to create mottled effect.

At Wright State University, Our set for Oklahoma! was a barn, every panel made of luan and 3/4" plywood. Overtop of the regular barn, our set designer wanted advertisements and bits of sky in various parts, to add detail/interest to the set. We started with the plain wood, and then covered it in a grey mixture of joint compound, flex glue and Rosco paint. (Will hence forth be called Goop.) After gooping the wood, we then dragged through it while it was still wet with wallpaper brushes, creating a large grain.

Tuxedo Junction Fine Art fabricates and paints growing Christmas tree backdrops for the Nutcracker Ballet. We use Rosco Off Broadway paint for our backdrops because it's durable and flexible, which is important when a backdrop has to accordion fold properly. Also, we are big fans of Crystal Gel, which glitter sticks to like a charm!
We also sell blank backdrops for customers to paint themselves. Rosco is our paint of choice and we typically send small samples and product information with the backdrops so our "non-theatre" customers know what to buy.

I had a fun time with this as it was my first time with enlarging a scenic paint elevation to full size. I recently completed my first realized set design with the production, Almost Maine. My focal point that tied together the scenes was the use of a ground row that was inspired by a fish-eye view of the northern lights. I wanted to create a scenic element that would sweep the focus up to the stars and the northern lights in the transitions. I started with creating my painter's elevation in 3/8" scale.

Beanstalk made from ultraviolet fabric painted with un-diluted supersat paint. No other paints or diluted supersat worked as the fabric was more porus than expected.
