Scene Painting Projects for Theatre

Great book, using it for a scene painting class with a large mix of non-artists and everyone has had great results. Easy to follow instructions really help and the book is filled with funny tips, and if you get the spiral version you get 2 removable plastic pages so your pages are protected! Just wipe off the plastic, put them on the next two, and your book is protected. This is especially useful if you intend to sell it back.

good basic manual for scenic paint. covers most of the basic skills one needs in theatre. like other reviewers i am bothered by the photoshopped illustrations - the book would be so much better with REAL photos

Thank you

I needed this book for school and the schools book store never got it in so I had to order it and I really love this book even though it is for school it has a lot of great trick for painting scenery and making things look real and since I love art and was able to follow the book really easily I got an easy A in the class.

Looking forward to exploring all the projects. Clearly written and easy to follow.

I ordered this book for my Drama: Stagecraft high school course and it has proven to be a winner. The instructions are clear and the illustrations step-by-step make a huge difference to first time scenery painters. We have used at least four difference painting techniques on a Victorian set for "Angel Street." Thanks for such a practical book!

This book is horrendous. All computer generated images, basic stamped patterns that no real designer would ever provide (unless they are a student designer). The projects are boring, save the final project which is shown on the cover. As another reviewer stated, this is an insult to the art of scenic painting.

I just love this book. I am not artistic and still draw stick people but with the instructions in this book, I was able to paint a background that turned out beautiful.

An excellent book for the beginner, there are plenty examples demonstrated in the book and plenty of places for notes
