More backdrops

 Work continues on the basic scenery landforms around the staging yard. I managed to slice my finger pretty good with a box cutter - I attempted to slice a section of foam off a block while steadying it with my other hand - and let's just say that put a damper on any further progress that evening!

I've also managed to complete painting the initial base coat of the background hills along the long wall of the basement. 

Now that my finger is no longer throbbing I should be able to add the highlights to the backdrop trees. 

Here's a couple of photos showing some sections of the backdrop - sorry, no photos of the finger...

That looks great. Subtle, but not too subtle. Are those oils, or acrylics? I've never had much luck with subtle shading/ color using acrylic...

Those are all acrylics.

Thank you for NOT showing us pictures of the finger. The backdrop is looking great.

I'll have to give it another go, that's lovely!
