SCENIC PAINT COLOR PALETTE: INTO THE WOODS
Color suggestions provided by Scenic Artist Bridgette Dennett
  • 5365 OB Chrome Oxide Green
  • 5366 OB Lemon Yellow
  • 5354 OB Burnt Umber
  • 5382 OB Paynes Grey

The Chrome Oxide Green is a great base color for leaves, then mix the Lemon Yellow in to make a brighter highlight green. The Burnt Umber is the base color for your wood bark. Lighten with the White for a highlight color.

Mix the Paynes Grey or the Van Dyke Brown into either base color to create the shadow colors for your leaves and bark.

You can use the Off Broadway White to create your “cow as white as milk,” and you can paint your “slippers as pure as gold” with Metallix Gilders Gold on top of a Golden Yellow base coat. You'll want to prime the shoes first, though. More details on this below.

 

PRO TIP

You can experiment creating woodsy colors for your set design by mixing the foliage paints inside Rosco’s Foliage Scenic Set.
