SCENIC PAINTING

Browse highlights from my scenic painting portfolio above or view the show galleries to see up close detail images, process photos, and production photos.

I've used Rosco's Off-Broadway and Artist Choice paint as well as hardware store paints to supplement the scenic paint. I am experienced scumbling, glazing, dry brushing, color matching, layout, opera netting on cut drops, prop detail painting, foam carving and dimensional surface texturing.
