Scenic Painting

This class explores the fundamentals of scenic painting. We will focus on painting for theatrical scenery, but the techniques are applicable to a wide range of artistic disciplines. We will cover many topics from mixing color and color theory, to stretching canvases, faux finishing techniques and scenic appliqués. Assignments include creating accurate woodgrain, brick, and marble finishes, replicating design renderings, creating large scale work from a small source using a grid, and others. We will also have the opportunity to help paint the set of the current mainstage show.
