Wood Graining
As part of the scenic painting process, I had to paint four wooden fences and three ladders with wood-graining textures and rustic details to each in order to really capture the feeling of old wood that had aged as it sits in a farm.

Floor Finishing, Hay Staining, Spattering, etc.
More work done was sealing the floor with Polyurethane. As well as staining the two large hay barrels with a more vibrant yellow to help it pop out against the lighting. Afterward, spattering and blending in the darker parts below the hay into the actual hay itself. Lastly, aging buckets with steel wool and vinegar to create that rusty look!
