"Unlike all other scene painting books, this text will take you step-by-step through actual individual scene painting projects. These painting techniques are commonly used in theatrical productions and each builds upon the skills learned in the previous project. In an organized fashion, the book leads you through projects such as spatter and sponging, weathered wood, fine wood, foliage, brick, wallpaper, drapery and more. Included in each project are the tools you will need, a paint elevation, detailed notes, colorful graphics for reference, and easy to understand step-by-step directions for you to achieve the finished result. By the time you complete the projects in this book, you will be a skilled scene painter."--BOOK JACKET.
