Scenic Art for the Theatre: History, Tools, and Techniques

by Susan Crabtree, Peter Beudert

This new full color edition is significantly up-dated to new interviews with "old masters" and successful "divas" of the industry, up-dated safety tips, and additional insights into the business of scenic design. Expanded to include a new chapter dedicated to painting techniques, the book will now feature detailed step-by-step descriptions of common two-dimensional painting techniques. Wood graining, marble and stone, and brick painting are few examples of the new techniques to be covered.

The Scenic Artist's reference, this time in color. I refer to this book on a daily basis, whether or not I'm in the shop. It's an easy read that is chock full of information that every scenic artist should learn and know. It's extremely easy to reference.
