The techniques we used for this scenic painting are:

-lining: drawing lines with cut wood of the size of a brick

-scumbling: base color, which is the bricks (evenly distributed spaces for each color- red, yellow, and brown- and blended the boundaries)

-highlights and shadows: the white and black lines that made the brick wall more like 3D. The lines depend on the direction of the sunlight, and this time the sunlight shone from the right top corner.

-texturing: the paint is on the bottom of the brick, and it expresses the rust of the brick wall (for a more old, realistic wall); it makes the painting darker

-spattering: spattered three colors evenly on the brick wall; it expresses the paint on a real brick wall

During the project, I noticed that scenic painting is different from art; what we should focus on is quite different- the texture and the view from far away is the most essential part since the audience would look at it from a distance. Therefore, precise details do not matter much and there could be minor errors because it is not clearly visible when people observe them in the audience seat. The final product is quite realistic because of the crooked line and the texturing that expresses the rust of the brick wall. We tried out something new during the project to use a silicon brush to create more texture; it turned out quite well because it spread the part where there was too much paint and made different surfaces (like the broken lines at the end).
