Other general scenic skills
Cartoon style
Use black paint to mark out the shapes, filling in with corresponding colours. Adding simple shadows and adding white highlights to make the syrup shiny.
Designer - Yu Song
Abstract Texturing
Sponging grey tones over a black base in cloud-like formations, adding a black wash over the top. Using a mop head to splatter and drag black in uneven crosshatching formations.
Designer - Sifan Chen ‘Stella’
Brick Work
Using emulsion paint on plastic vac-formed bricks, a mixture of painting, washes and sponging.
Tree texturing
Use a spray gun to apply the base colours, dry brushing and sponging to add bark texturing. Applying dried moss and sponging paint replicates lichen.
Designer - Llew Morgan
