5.0 out of 5 stars This is an informative and inspiring book., 18 May 1999
By A Customer
This book will be valuable for the amateur and professional alike.It's splendidly illustrated and the photos of scenic drops,scrims,and translucencies show some first-rate work. Best of all this book is by two WORKING professionals who not only know what they're doing but also have the ability to cogently and effectively communicate the multiple ways scenic art is produced.The two authors are not "bookish theorics" as Shakespeare would put it, but accomplished pros who are out there doing it! A must for anyone who's interested in becoming a scenic artist or simply wants to paint their school or community theatre production in a more effective, efficient, and beautiful way.
