For this project, I assisted in the layout and painting of a herringbone wood treatment on the floor of the studio space for the production. The treatment consisted of a base coat of latex paint with a tinted glaze applied over it, followed by a final seal treatment.

Role: Scenic Painter

In this role, I led a team to complete all stone treatments for the production, including a brick treatment on a curved surface, and assisted with other scenic painting tasks as became necessary. 

The brick treatment consisted of a grey base coat with bricks stamped over. The treatment was finished with a series of washes to add shadows and depth, then sealed.

Eldorado Casino Showroom

Role: Freelance Scenic Painter

On this project, I worked with a team of 2 other freelance scenic painters to apply a wood look treatment to the floor of the Eldorado Showroom. The show was cancelled before opening, however, this represents the largest scale painting treatment I have completed to date. The treatment here is similar to that used for Pride and Prejudice except it was applied using large car wash brushes instead of paint brushes to achieve the large-board look at a distance.
