| The script called for two backcloths cloths of the same cafe interior. The first - ramshackle and run down, but the second - upmarket and smart after Mrs Baba came into a fortune. Hhere is the left hand side of the two contrasting backcloths depicting the same cafe, one dowdy and the other smart. I hope you can tell which is supposed to be which! | |

| By the way, to paint curtains I try and work wet-in-wet i.e. keep the paint wet so that any blending of colours melds into each other. To paint the folds of curtains I use a wide five inch brush and have the main colour on the bristles but then dip one corner of that same paint-laden brush into another colour (A darker version of the base colour for shadow or a lighter version for highlight.) | |
