Yup, I can do that too!These are some of the houses we had to paint for "Albert Herring" They were the most upstage piece of scenery and the designer was insistent on them being film quality with ridiculous amounts of detail, water marks, doorbells, milk bottles on the doorsteps and everything.

Sure can!Apprentice Scenes at The Santa Fe Opera, I can't remember right now what scene this was from, but it was set in the Art Deco Period. My friend <a href="http://www.adammccarthydesign.com/">Adam McCarthy </a>designed the piece, and I faux painted the wood to look stained, and did those little vignette panels which were based off of these really sweet old Chinese ink landscape paintings. The panels were gold leafed onto Masonite, painted on with some layers of burnt umber glaze, and then covered with a couple layers of Amber Shellac to get a shiny beautiful surface. We lined the back of it with some light weight bleached muslin so it could be back lit.<br /><br />Here's the finished product:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgajgD600r4LPX_AualRsKCXXwHqhNIOIm-rojjuJ6Aj0f8sUVafUGoQKQeAlCHFe2S32eeocx_w9DE9RnIWzwYTtG-oacUfUcMmEJnlIvfdDJ1aNYop90ckZPfNV3YbNP6NXMX0ikVOTs3/s1600/IMG_1677.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgajgD600r4LPX_AualRsKCXXwHqhNIOIm-rojjuJ6Aj0f8sUVafUGoQKQeAlCHFe2S32eeocx_w9DE9RnIWzwYTtG-oacUfUcMmEJnlIvfdDJ1aNYop90ckZPfNV3YbNP6NXMX0ikVOTs3/s320/IMG_1677.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548845041170236898" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Left Panel Close Up:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD8DfIrKlSLZkucR3-ZEdAEaHI-u87fwNUF5JShiIztQ43CR3D83BXAi2j-Tek7R6KuGrVOZceeLWg_yjoAkgoVRD_zDEIDpT5KDL7HFsxBkiN8oP23xJ1oJc9NUlKTFconLdf2QzQUBgW/s1600/IMG_1678.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD8DfIrKlSLZkucR3-ZEdAEaHI-u87fwNUF5JShiIztQ43CR3D83BXAi2j-Tek7R6KuGrVOZceeLWg_yjoAkgoVRD_zDEIDpT5KDL7HFsxBkiN8oP23xJ1oJc9NUlKTFconLdf2QzQUBgW/s320/IMG_1678.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548845047197751586" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Middle Panel Close Up:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBSQjEmM2Rkty8Az6nXX2lpQ46_-eWgv2XI5Hz35KuOa9m8CWzp1BbKbAiGSNrqH6iKPOXMPT6pNLQDwJpuQYU_52kWsOANcEgBNZSTe9ltaDtvSJX9epRbJhra04y7iXVie8Jea0mIDf_/s1600/IMG_1681.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBSQjEmM2Rkty8Az6nXX2lpQ46_-eWgv2XI5Hz35KuOa9m8CWzp1BbKbAiGSNrqH6iKPOXMPT6pNLQDwJpuQYU_52kWsOANcEgBNZSTe9ltaDtvSJX9epRbJhra04y7iXVie8Jea0mIDf_/s320/IMG_1681.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548845049097598546" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Right Panel Close Up:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfKlr465gjNF7AXyPjFNASN7E3IElxA7eEn7w5yj6Uzyp1SC6U-PqdKuU5IxzuaRGrm03qPtYHI44F4k63gsghr39ZzIQUnWc0p0Vd_VPPtOt-GtxBxSy3fiRl-rmpqUPKC-1TMQZIylof/s1600/IMG_1684.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfKlr465gjNF7AXyPjFNASN7E3IElxA7eEn7w5yj6Uzyp1SC6U-PqdKuU5IxzuaRGrm03qPtYHI44F4k63gsghr39ZzIQUnWc0p0Vd_VPPtOt-GtxBxSy3fiRl-rmpqUPKC-1TMQZIylof/s320/IMG_1684.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548845058663665122" border="0" /></a>loryn.arianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06949134358730679952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1830114194980635389.post-42970817546674208522010-06-13T11:54:00.008-04:002010-12-09T20:03:24.826-05:00Santa Fe Opera-Madame Butterfly, Faux FinishesThis was just a simple little left over resin casting that we had laying around in the shop.

It was called "Dialogue of the Carmelites". The designer had these awesome ideas from the beginning of his design, and one of them was this 8' tall sculpture of Jesus. As soon as I found this out, I called dibbs on it and wanted to get my hands on this project because I knew it would be an awesome thing to work on. I've done a little bit of foam carving sculpture work before, but nothing of this size, so I welcomed the challenge.
<br />
<br />The image that the designer gave me was El Grecco's "Christ on the Cross with Two Donors"<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrOp5AEeWsVk_IVSdNWe8VYkkdP0ddgcE7LCabaPTLPJqPqRSzrS4CbL7RowXmlKOHyD_wC7ubTk8IANwnfWO6x1nrlnYMXx9Og2hwXLBFwCxYHiCOH0J9SujmcnEl_f4cEgETdt8VSWLd/s1600/IMG_1205.JPG">

<br />It was amazing!

It was coming along well, but I needed a place to put my tools while I was sitting on top of Jebus's chest, so I figured since I was already boarder line getting struck by lightening, I figured I'd put my tools in his head.

It turned out pretty well, and I'm happy with the way it's turned out. Didn't take that long to do. It's a pretty tiny painting, only 2' x 2', so it's an exact painted replica of the two sculptures I just finished awhile ago.

It's pretty crazy. I'm almost completely adjusted to waking up at 5 am, catching the 6:15 train, getting into Grand Central at 7:45, jump on 2 subways, and get to Juilliard by 8--1 hour before I technically need to be to work, but in order for me to get parking back home, I need to take the early train.<br /><br />I'm okay with it though, because I have about an hour to putz around the shop, get all the lights on, and lay on the stage with the ghost light looking up at the ridiculous grid system that's in the theatre right next to the paint deck.<br /><br />The paint deck is pretty large. This is about 85% of the deck--I couldn't fit it all on my camera. The show that we have on the deck in that picture one of the first shows of the season called "Arms & the Man", which is designed by Lee Savage, who I worked with at BTF in '08. It's a pretty interesting set. 10 gallons of joint compound to stucco the walls. Good times, good times. Upstairs is the Charge and the Assistant Charge's offices.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguxl9T-POmCn0e5h2zo6rsvJyaih37ZOqckTYYzCALu2kO_c5B06emCl4R6N2g9QOdOnRFnPJNY_nNCZCscV3np506JVksxk-pvuQmLKNhGXFxQ0unimabvZpsSefvvmo5_P95LdRswwa4/s1600-h/IMG_0387.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguxl9T-POmCn0e5h2zo6rsvJyaih37ZOqckTYYzCALu2kO_c5B06emCl4R6N2g9QOdOnRFnPJNY_nNCZCscV3np506JVksxk-pvuQmLKNhGXFxQ0unimabvZpsSefvvmo5_P95LdRswwa4/s320/IMG_0387.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383701448790504210" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Below in 'the cage' is the other intern's and mine's computer tables, and a bunch of paint storage.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgec1nYYlI2Ne0C898871fOBIg_3cjPiGF7y-PXn7mDDAVB_aZZYLeIo0N8b0ZWLcrxAToGUspJ_REqABAyNgpUmGDru0coByhTZtLE6I-cSGB0hhSIeYD8Cx8v6PYCjEWTG_dznKnG5VLP/s1600-h/IMG_0402.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgec1nYYlI2Ne0C898871fOBIg_3cjPiGF7y-PXn7mDDAVB_aZZYLeIo0N8b0ZWLcrxAToGUspJ_REqABAyNgpUmGDru0coByhTZtLE6I-cSGB0hhSIeYD8Cx8v6PYCjEWTG_dznKnG5VLP/s320/IMG_0402.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383708180186957298" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I think it's pretty awesome that they gave us our own computers and desks and personal areas.

Stencils! Stencils!In a long overdue post, and as promised, I wanted to put up a blog about how I made these stencils for the megalithic walls I had to do while at my internship this summer up in Vermont. The show was "The Hallow", a play by the oh so famous Agatha Christie.<br /><br />So here we go!<br /><br />When I met with the designer, he handed me a 11"x14" piece of paper that had the image on the left on it.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIbkuLcQYSU73d86zU_QdsKOR7h_8TkCEtPBZ5fCsLxUafKUuq9ievBkcRFtvwKzJfhzdtNv3_MIc4N_U3ir0eG_E9SXtD-cu4jSoysiRwaWuncdvRT3yJUts6TYWquBL2uhGugvRQPRAA/s1600-h/Preparing+Stencil.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 256px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIbkuLcQYSU73d86zU_QdsKOR7h_8TkCEtPBZ5fCsLxUafKUuq9ievBkcRFtvwKzJfhzdtNv3_MIc4N_U3ir0eG_E9SXtD-cu4jSoysiRwaWuncdvRT3yJUts6TYWquBL2uhGugvRQPRAA/s400/Preparing+Stencil.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369524000084034466" border="0" /></a><br />For the record, I personally think the hole in the top left is oh so classy, but I digress. Turning this into a stencil, I had to think about it all in layers. Like it's a photoshop image, and you're piling and piecing the whole thing together. How would you paint this? How would you collage this? This is how I had to step back and look at this. I had to break it down to layers, each layer being a different stencil, and another step. Now, I could have easily turned this into a 10 step stencil, but I realized that me and 2 others would be mostly doing all of it, so I had to simplify: basic shapes, base color, low light and highlight. That's how I did this.<br /><br />Since we fell short of tracing paper (and a lot of other things), the TD gave me a roll of this ancient paper, that's on the right. We had no lightbox either, so I ended up taping the piece of paper ontop of the elevation, layed on the picnic table, and held it to the sun: the world's largest lightbox!<br /><br />After I had it all drawn out, I figured out that I could do the whole thing in 5 stencils, so I grabbed 5 highlighters and broke it down that way.<br /><br />I went to the local art supply store and bought sheets of 18" x 24" acetate (large pieces of transparent paper), which I have used before and they have worked brilliantly. (Also, if you can't find that, sneak down to the gel storage or bff an electrician and see if they'll give you an old sheet (or 5) of gel. Since I knew these poor stencils were going to be through hell and back with the amount of work I would have to get out of it, I decided to invest in some stencil paper too. It's like a super heavyweight yellow-ish colored cardstock (it kind of looks like a manila envelope color) which has an almost plastic film on it so it doesn't get ruined when wet. The only downside of this is that you can't see through it, which I found really difficult. Also, they were much harder to cut out and the acetate stencils pulled through ten times better then the stencil paper. I think the stencil paper would be good if you're doing a one step stencil, but for multiple step stencils, I would say go for the acetate, hands down.<br /><br />I also taped out the size of the stencil on each one with gaff tape because I have learned that just drawing it out with sharpie, it will eventually disappear, and make your soul hurt. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaPfQsyteJr_FxR9Zuca0c9fCLTy-1AVLr6Xc30o7wQQ-ugudCo1TZLY3SrAMy_hTu81kQe8DYejiYfox25faSQL9qfuv_HX5nQcwQ1_oE8iTVfP_imogOTBYc8gnTIu6_NgZOlQDYaGu2/s1600-h/Leaf+Stencil.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 280px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaPfQsyteJr_FxR9Zuca0c9fCLTy-1AVLr6Xc30o7wQQ-ugudCo1TZLY3SrAMy_hTu81kQe8DYejiYfox25faSQL9qfuv_HX5nQcwQ1_oE8iTVfP_imogOTBYc8gnTIu6_NgZOlQDYaGu2/s400/Leaf+Stencil.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369524005963320130" border="0" /></a><br />The leaf stencil was the first step (mind you I took all these stencil pictures AFTER the project was over). All I did to transfer all these layers to the acetate was to lay it over the drawing I did and draw it out with a sharpie, and cut then out with my good friend Mr. Exacto.<br /><br />After we did the first step (a 2 color scumble with 2 different colored greens, trying to pull the depth in the elevation without doing another stencil), we put the highlight green leaf color on. The paint smelt TERRIBLE! It was awful, but that's old paint for you. For this step we sponged it on because I thought it gave it more texture and depth to it like real leaves have.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZZ8gfyT2rmTRSrIbRd4Y5KOUhviN2T_UgAbTrLy-14n2ge3L4kIx6lHejtbgeUeF8wJTSw9D_IE1saX5ltS1Rr42YTcD8rM3jfJsi6Tve6GnKyZquh2yxJvBPXFzW7Baa609tiFBKXQ4V/s1600-h/Flower+Base+Stencil.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 233px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZZ8gfyT2rmTRSrIbRd4Y5KOUhviN2T_UgAbTrLy-14n2ge3L4kIx6lHejtbgeUeF8wJTSw9D_IE1saX5ltS1Rr42YTcD8rM3jfJsi6Tve6GnKyZquh2yxJvBPXFzW7Baa609tiFBKXQ4V/s400/Flower+Base+Stencil.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369524014155513314" border="0" /></a><br />Then, after the leaves came the base of the flowers, blocked out in their shapes. I learned that the blue flower on the middle right and the top yellow flower ended up being my favorite flowers to stencil. I have no idea why.<br /><br />For this step and steps 3 and 4, I went to Michaels and bought a bunch of cheap stencil brushes at various sizes, and they worked great! I was able to get a bunch so when I had a couple of people helping me, we were able to have all the steps of the stencils going and have enough brushes.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIc_Fj8O9umu5W2ZhgnVxjhQGWDpfxBLPd-RSfhJm7bT5HX31oZickiJdGidbWpF-5vQSQmL7bruV-6mhoSdLa3o-iUQOJtkSWCn_aJZDnK8_pcwpAe61bfkxI2tfFGtMx0j-jVtSUcNed/s1600-h/High+and+Lowlight+Stencil.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIc_Fj8O9umu5W2ZhgnVxjhQGWDpfxBLPd-RSfhJm7bT5HX31oZickiJdGidbWpF-5vQSQmL7bruV-6mhoSdLa3o-iUQOJtkSWCn_aJZDnK8_pcwpAe61bfkxI2tfFGtMx0j-jVtSUcNed/s400/High+and+Lowlight+Stencil.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369524025015245234" border="0" /></a><br />Finally, Step 3 and 4 were the high lights and low lights. This step went the fastest, and I'm really happy it did because by the time this step came around we were all pretty tired!<br /><br />The final product came out really well! I am really happy with the way it came out. I'm hoping to get some more final shots up soon.

At the end of the list it said if we wanted to share with the school we could send them an e-mail and let them know.<br /><br />Well...I did.<br /><br />To whom it may concern:<br /><br />My name is Loryn Williams (BFA Production Design, 2009) and saw in the recent JobWire Newsletter that you had listed some internships and jobs landed by recent SCAD Graduates like myself.<br /><br />I just wanted to share with everyone in the SCAD community that I have received an internship as a Scenic Painter under the Professional Intern Program at The Juilliard School in New York City for their 2009-2010 year.<br /><br />I found the internship on the career services page the summer after my Freshmen year at SCAD. I contacted the program director and visited the school that summer to learn more about the program they offered. I instantly knew that this was where I wanted to be but was told that I didn't have enough experience and skillset behind me at that time in order to receive such an internship. The remaining 3 years of my time at SCAD helped me to develop that experience and skillset and ultimately work my way towards landing this wonderful internship.<br /><br />I am very thankful for the education I have received with SCAD and hope that others will benefit just as much as I have from this college and the programs they offer.<br /><br />Thank you,<br />Loryn Williams<br />(BFA, Production Design, 2009)<br /><br /><br />And this morning I got this e-mail....<br /><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:'PrimaSans BT,Verdana,sans-serif';">Hello Loryn,<br />We are just thrilled to hear about your internship with the Julliard. We are SO proud of you and wish you every success there.

Crazy tendencies, and the slight beginnings of a potentially Obsessive Compulsive Disorder--for my paint kitchen.<br /><br />Yes, <span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">my </span></span>paint kitchen. (See the OCD kicking in?)<br /><br />I say my partially because I am the only one who has any form of paint in my staff title. I also say my because I put it to some order and figured out the local of everything in this area. I say my because I am the only one that cleans the space and feels the need for it to be kept orderly. Specifically because it's so tiny here.<br /><br />Unfortunately with all this in mind, I am the only one that cares about the situation of this area. The designer who is the only other one who mixes any kind of color or is in there for remotely as long as I am.<br /><br />With this being said, I have come into the shop early all week to work on the paintings that are on the walls, and to re-clean, re-organize, and re-wash buckets, brushes and whatever else the designer has laid his hands on. So, the other day, a few days before we got into tech, I took some pictures after I newly re-cleaned my itty-bitty paint kitchen.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzPCM-nUeJEDVpKM_lSlHC-8DeK0u3dZZxUZ1ep86L9jCafnMhcVwv-uwFS8SdtqAUEGfMzZMqPFFg0x7NNKP04svaESG9Q8JwCH0G6kSDsrDEoLNE3idP3s-m77EtpkOTvAY2R2vcJ8Le/s1600-h/IMG_0102.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzPCM-nUeJEDVpKM_lSlHC-8DeK0u3dZZxUZ1ep86L9jCafnMhcVwv-uwFS8SdtqAUEGfMzZMqPFFg0x7NNKP04svaESG9Q8JwCH0G6kSDsrDEoLNE3idP3s-m77EtpkOTvAY2R2vcJ8Le/s320/IMG_0102.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361383542782177778" border="0" /></a><br />It's not much, but I have to keep it clean or else its impossible to try to do anything in it.

The other side is equally as messy. Everyday this is what I go through. It drives me crazy, but what's a girl to do. Poor Samsung and Mittens get to listen to me complain about it day in and day out. Bless them.<br /><br />I decided that tracing the images from a projector of these interesting Indian inspired erotica, and then pouncing them out on the walls would be the easiest method of transferring these 8' images onto the wallpaper walls. Below is the MonkeyMan ripping open his chest. He lives on the far SR wall.<br /><br /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn7bmipqIReqcSfKcwvHZyczd5s1jr5xEPI8ASIJFWKle1_f1lXBH5f2Bm0cwx9EhXciCCJO3c9BKfWlo76FrBTtCEuDmt8Sji4yar0PRt916HwiV0mGyskrYRosOCBvCL0Tkyx4eskc0W/s320/IMG_0094.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361383535866281026" border="0" /><br /><br />The designer, or rather, the Director wanted the images to be translucent, so to make it look like they are coming from within the walls. A pretty cool though, a choice to say the least. But it made it a lot easier and quicker to paint with this all in mind. So, this is it mid process:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBmr7uK5fwjci-_3um4qLNlZjXze6TjBmEhdrzfAiRqnhZQJD5cdS2Gl-FPDHSIvJ_5MtSsbOLMXfT2WGg_mpn-WsY5snpXWYSXV3guA9xc4qTPSqsy8lyGt0M3cFWhwYGxboknwyeXXF_/s1600-h/IMG_0099.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBmr7uK5fwjci-_3um4qLNlZjXze6TjBmEhdrzfAiRqnhZQJD5cdS2Gl-FPDHSIvJ_5MtSsbOLMXfT2WGg_mpn-WsY5snpXWYSXV3guA9xc4qTPSqsy8lyGt0M3cFWhwYGxboknwyeXXF_/s320/IMG_0099.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361383539992568306" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Load-in was...interesting.

The designer comes back after being away for a week so his arrival makes me a little anxious because I want everything to go well. I've sent him process shots during the week and it's been good feedback, but I still worry.<br /><br />Anyways, more to come. I'm hoping to do a blog about the whole stenciling process, and to keep photo documenting this whole stenciling/show painting thing some more. Not too much longer now! 6 more days until my contract is O-V-E-R!!loryn.arianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06949134358730679952noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1830114194980635389.post-28318642040624097032009-07-16T21:18:00.001-04:002009-10-20T08:23:50.864-04:00Some wall updates!!Here is some stuff as promised:<br /><br />The walls are going good. This is the set of "The Hallow", a murder mystery drama written by Agatha Christie. They need to be done by tomorrow night. We (and by we I mean me and pretty much one other person, up to 4, but generally 2 people only) have been working non-stop on these for like 14 hour days (plus the damn run crew we have to do). Anyways....traditionally it is supposed to be set in a manor, a rich local somewhere in England, but the designer went off on the deep end, and this is his twist on things a bit.<br /><br />This is the extremely pixelated "painting elevation" that the designer gave me and basically said "Good luck making a stencil!"<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYya2FspznraEhDJ6yDlH6Bj3ebkPmob3GfqaE2tROHMgblEu7CCBJCfxPKmctLct8hm_92ZiQ_n3NnXycf64TkYelusi2BDbBOBfF5R3Zw4xiadrV9YOj1jsXdsWxB8FlIu7GUVqQ10Q_/s1600-h/IMG_0026.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYya2FspznraEhDJ6yDlH6Bj3ebkPmob3GfqaE2tROHMgblEu7CCBJCfxPKmctLct8hm_92ZiQ_n3NnXycf64TkYelusi2BDbBOBfF5R3Zw4xiadrV9YOj1jsXdsWxB8FlIu7GUVqQ10Q_/s320/IMG_0026.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359233125922144034" border="0" /></a><br />Heh heh heh heh......4 days later, I won, and this sample came from my angsty hands:<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9kqEpGy0QhY31rtJmtrN-DHFKjY_4xe3-iH5sSzxjl0-fYFqRUxqBpvtf51ub0us7zvgovHwKUriuscFtJmmL8m3pQxiiYvzheR-K8CGnihFhKtpp45Lu1ww3GK9GLaOagwtK-YOn7YV8/s1600-h/IMG_0027.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9kqEpGy0QhY31rtJmtrN-DHFKjY_4xe3-iH5sSzxjl0-fYFqRUxqBpvtf51ub0us7zvgovHwKUriuscFtJmmL8m3pQxiiYvzheR-K8CGnihFhKtpp45Lu1ww3GK9GLaOagwtK-YOn7YV8/s320/IMG_0027.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359233135740632018" border="0" /></a>Eat your heart out designer! He really liked it and everyone else did, now just to transfer it onto these 16' monstrosities.<br /><br />This is the second step of the first process, or the 1st step of the stenciling on the walls: the leaves. Conveniently (or not, depending on how you look at it), the designer didn't want it to be wallpaper, he wanted it to "Look like a meadow"<br /><br />.........................k?<br /><br />So, here we go!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBfbVs4ZC8Pd9Xqc0lmuJtyqokjKLbaGElY882_rGqPEO40LrZu_nm5O_buhuS65JJH0Kk52dk1KVekcPT-aXFcqLB8aRla6BHkTtKn-zZrK6AqghzObfW5EwL9mWqIycAFIzwk-wLPko6/s1600-h/Leaf+Stencil.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBfbVs4ZC8Pd9Xqc0lmuJtyqokjKLbaGElY882_rGqPEO40LrZu_nm5O_buhuS65JJH0Kk52dk1KVekcPT-aXFcqLB8aRla6BHkTtKn-zZrK6AqghzObfW5EwL9mWqIycAFIzwk-wLPko6/s320/Leaf+Stencil.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359233145155008482" border="0" /></a>This is step 2: a Leaf Stencil. It's taken us like 2 1/2 days to get this step on all the walls--taken so long and the poor stencil is so fah-cocked from the usage!<br /><br />Step 3: The base of the flowers. While the leaf stencil was going on I started the flower one...almost finished, hopefully will be done by tomorrow morning!
