SCENERY PAINTING
FOR THE AMATEUR MUSICAL THEATRE and PANTOMIME |
|
| SOUTH PACIFIC - page four |
| Designed and painted by Brian Willis. Performed
by Lisnagarvey Operatic Society (1972?) |
 |
| The Beach Laundry - Washing Machine and Bloody Mary's
kiosk. The
cut-outs of palm trees upstage give this scene depth. Backcloth of Bali
Ha'i
in background. |
| I have done South Pacific for quite a few companies and when
painting a similar backcloth for another group it was the first time
I had
attempted
to use a
large
commercial
airbrush.
I wanted
to give
the island a misty ethereal feel, as if appearing out of the mist. However
my airbrushing technique was a disaster and it looked as if someone was
burning
old tractor
tyres on the island. So I dumped the airbrush and started all over again
with my normal trusty paint brushes. |
