Henry the 8th I am

This week, Gino and I have been working on painting drop curtains for our production of Henry V.  The scenic design, by the fantastic Richard Hay, is to be a sort of post-apocalyptic wasteland.  The floor is to be completely covered in white astroturf that will be painted in a similar fashion to these curtains.  Left, you will see an elevation for the two main curtains we will be painting.

Here is a shot of the warehouse shop where we layed out all the curtains we will be painting.  The white ones will get variations on the above treatment, while the blue ones represent the French and have a fleur de lis pattern on corners of them.

Instead of mixing a grey for the light areas, we used only black, but in less density, sort of like pointillism.  

Right, Gino uses a sponge technique.
