During the second week there was only the need for 4 people to work on the floor at one time, so I had
to find jobs for those who came off the floor for the rest and a job for myself. Other jobs that week included more drawing and more colour mixing - which was all a great plus as this means when we start getting more work in from construction we can start painting straight away!
One of the other jobs I started was the sample of the trees for the 'Maze Scene,' in this scene in the pantomime is where the loved up couples come to light. In the designers model piece, the leaves of the hedges are painted in water colour effect, however Gary (my tutor) asked the designer (Robin Peoples) if we could do the leaves in heart a shape which the designer thought was a great idea. As Rose didn't have a job to do she helped me create 3 sizes of a heart shape stamp. Basically we cut out hearts from a foam sponge, glued it to a piece of wood a created a small handle for each stamp.
Creating the overall look to the hedges proved much more difficult then I first thought. I had to create 3 dimensional effect using the 3 colours (a bright green, dark green and mid green), eventually after several attempts as well as fixing the original colours (and lots of helpful advice from Gary) I managed to create a look for the tree that worked.
