Color Theory Practice With Rosco Scenic Sets
Rosco Spectrum: Meet Tessa Broyles – she’s a scenic artist based in New York City and one of our new Rosco Ambassadors! Her experience includes props work at Santa Fe Opera, and various freelance scenic paint jobs around the city – with one of her favorites being at The Juilliard School of Drama. Tessa is probably best known, however, for her popular YouTube Channel: Behind The Scenics. Watching Tessa’s scenic art videos is an excellent way to learn a variety of painting techniques for creating theatrical scenery.

This is a youtube channel I am for sure going to fall down a rabbit hole with in the near future. I always love an online tutorial, especially when it comes to painting and crafting techniques. The world of DIY and crafts is sort of open source in that way which I think is very useful in making some aspects of stagecraft more accessible - specifically and especially props. I know that the tips and tricks on faux finishes are something I will definitely use. Thinking more about the content of this article, I think color mixing and theory are pretty intimidating, and this is a nice introduction. Something I had not thought of was the difference between RYB and CMY when translating renderings to scenery. I guess enough of our designers are asked to do paint models, which requires painting things and therefore RYB color mixing. But in the big world, I guess having to meet the match of the CMY coloring sent by the designer that’s across the country. Getting to CMY mixing might be an extra step in the process, but certainly useful to mee the designer's expectations.
Color theory is something that’s been pretty interesting to me for a while ever since I started getting more serious about art and digital drawing. I’m always looking for more YouTube tutorials to help me learn more skills and understanding of art. Taking a glance at her channel, it looks like there are a lot of really interesting and helpful things that she teaches. Especially intrigued by her faux finishing videos, like stained glass, linoleum, and wood grain. I also might check out her artist freelancing tips, since those could come in handy someday too.
I knew the difference between CMYK and RGB when it came to digital art and printing, but I didn’t know that there were different CMY and RYB paints as well. There are so many things I have yet to learn and understand about painting. I’ll definitely be saving her channel for referencing later when I’m working on projects.
