​

PROCESS: 

Sewer Drop: starch, string grid, cartooning, ink in lines with FEV using splines, base purple areas, base pipes etc., texture with cut rollers, highlight and shade with washes, washes for yellow highlights in translucent area, cut roller for texture, purple wash for shadow.

​

City-scape Drop: starch, lay out building outlines and windows, yellow translucent windows, flip mask translucent windows, spray translucent sky, base buildings, remove masking, hatch from ultramarine blue (offstage) to teal (onstage), shade windows. When we checked the translucency of the windows we discovered that paint had bled through, to fix this problem we cut out the windows and duchmaned new muslin over the holes.

​

PROCESS: 

- Laid and starched drop

- Filled in lines. Used large brushes and a heavy wash, applied with quick but purposeful strokes. Lines wanted to be rough and sketchy and to emphasize the feeling that they were each one long brush stroke. 

- Applied another coat to the lines to opaque, but didn't bring this coat all the way to the edge (to help soften edges)

- Lightly sprayed blue over whole drop

- laid out sawdust masking

- paynes spray over whole drop, with movement

- pulled sawdust and did one more light pass of paynes to tone all together
