Decorating and Aging

• DAP Studios Scenic Painters •

In May 2023 I travelled to Wickwar and took part in a scenic training course run by James Rowse. I learnt how to prep, prime and paint surfaces, experimented with chalk paste, crackle glaze and vinyl stencils and wallpapered a 1:25 scale model set before aging it down using splatter techniques and a spray gun.

Photo of the 1:25 scale set. There are red and blue painted splotches on the dado rail and skirting board with dots of chalk paste on top. A tongue and groove panel with red and blue splotches is also laying on the floor.

Photo documenting the process of the small painted sign. The vinyl stencil is laid on top and the letters have been painted with gold paint. Letters read 'Beware of the cat'
