Tour
This
backcloth was for a tour of Rupert the Bear. This
was one of several childrens theatre shows we have
been asked to paint over the last couple of years.
Ben wanted a soft edged image. We used textured
rollers, spatter, spray (and even resorted to a
paint brush once or twice,) to build up the shapes
and colours. We found the online photo gallery very
helpful on this project. Ben was able to see the
image emerge from his studio on the east Kent
coast.
