SCENERY PAINTING FOR THE AMATEUR MUSICAL THEATRE and PANTOMIME
CINDERELLA - Coleraine page two
Designed and painted by Brian Willis, Sets constructed by Sean Magee
Performed by Coleraine Provincial Players (1992)
Interior Hardup Hall Backcloth. Photo taken in the theatre during a rehearsal by Arnold McCleary and Robert Ramsey (no costume)

Detail of the same cloth showing the part which was hidden by the actors in the above photo .

That looks suspiciously like a bottle of drink with a cup on top of it on the floor. Strange.

By the way I drew the outline of this suit of armour in small scale in black ink on a card first, then projected it onto the almost completed backcloth, then traced it onto the cloth with chalk. This was exceptional as I rarely use projection because the resulting image (on my own particular projector) is often distorted. However, this is not a problem with something humorous like this cloth where a squat and dumpy suit of armour was quite funny.
