=Here are some images I have gathered for us to use as inspriation as we paint our many prisms!=

Note: We will not be re-creating these images exactly, but rather taking elements from each and creating our own backdrops.
=Calling all artists! If you are inspired by these images (or any you find on your own), please feel free to make some sketches and post them here and/or bring them with you on set painting days!=

====We will have 6 prisms (3 segments 4' x 8' in size). When they are folded into triangular prisms and aligned next to one another, this will allow for the creation of 3 large rectangular backdrops 24' x 8' in size. Each prism will open up to reveal the three sections painted on the inside panels, which can create 6 smaller backdrops 18' x 8' in size - we may use two of these together in some scenes.====

Each prism will have 6 panels to be painted.
=Here is a rough visual to help clarify what I'm talking about:=



=Here are some inspiration pictures for Ascot:=







=Here are some inspiration pictures for Covent Garden and outside of the Opera House:=





=Here are some inspiration pictures for Higgin's Study:=

During set construction, the 2-story set will be modified with a new staircase which comes forward - and perhaps we can add some trim pieces here and there to "fancy-it-up" a bit. :)






=We will likely be painting a piece of canvas to look like the window in this picture, which will hang underneath the balcony platform and provide some light to that area.=



=Here is a possible inspiration for Mrs. Higgin's Garden:=

=Here is an idea for Outside of Higgin's house - in set construction we will build a set piece with stairs on both sides and a door in the middle, so we can use it for both this scene as well as the door to the bar that Doolittle gets kicked out of:=

=And here is some inspiration for the scene in the Tenement section:=
