Simple wood grain for the scene design class.

This statue was carved roughly out of styrofoam with hot wires and other carving tools. then it was sealed and built up with Rosco FoamCoat. I added details (facial features, hat brim, hands, etc) with clay and continued layering with FoamCoat, sanding each layer down smooth. Two layers of CrystalGel were applied to seal cracks, smooth the surface, etc. After a base color, highlights, shadows, and rust detail, I sponged the entire sculpture with Rosco antique gold paint.

Made glazes from Rosco and oil based and then lined with regular paint and then blocked out

I used roscoe paint for all the set pieces as well as most of the prop work. There was often the need to glaze object and you'll notice in the picture that we have a marbling effect in use as well.

The paint was used as a top scumble in conjunction with a black matte on our platforms. Using the blue and black together along the side of the water gave an expansive look to the pool.

This is from a production of Little Shop that I designed a few years ago. Rosco was of great value from paint to gels to gobos to fog all of which appear in the picture. It is one of my favorite shows and favorite sets.

The production: A Midsummer Nights Dream. My design included a painted backdrop upstage with a built in moon box. I used Rosco paints throughout for a soft, diffused forest atmosphere. Strip lighting on the top and bottom allowed me to drastically change the colors and shades of the drop thus indicating different times of day and moods. Different levels on the moon box also added a nice touch. The overall effect was wonderful.

In January 2013 USITT Southwest held it’s symposium at Sam Houston State University with over 200 attendees. I had the privilege to lead a “Scenic Art Challenge” where the students (about 20) were divided into team and given a rendering to paint and a deadline of two and a half hours. In addition to completing the painting four other challenges had to be completed, drawing a thirty foot line free hand, silver leafing a “Rosco” label, cutting out a stencil, and folding a drop. It was a wonderful experience for each of the students and those judging it.

All Rosco Off-Broadway paint used as well as Clear Acrylic. Also used Gold and silver metallic. Rosco gel colors in all lighting fixtures.

At the USITT Southwest Conference in Huntsville, Texas, our group was asked to reproduce a given design on a 3' x 4' canvas using Rosco scenic products; fastest team to accomplish the finished project won an award at the ceremony. Our group's final product is attached! Thank you so much! It was funny because the letters for Arkansas are wrong, which was only discovered by our group leaders after everyone had finished!
