My biggest solo project was the 10 foot translucent, backlit moon! First I worked in the basic textures with charcoal and water. Then I went back in with some very, VERY watered down greens and blues. For the moon to stay translucent, the paint could not be too layered or too thick. It was a careful process that required a lot of gentle layering and water, and in the end, the moon became one of the focal points of the show, providing a space for actors to be silhouetted, a sense of distance, and a sense of something supernatural taking place upon the island.

In every scenic element (expect the moon) we used purple as a unifying but subtle color. it was even sprayed onto the sand amidst the umber and sienna!
