Wood that divides the stone bottom from the brick siding. Hand painted grey then before that dries, sponge a black color over it and slightly smear it for a textured stone look.

Pete the one who the wall was built with

Today I worked with Pete. He is one of the construction workers. We had the challenge of building a wall that will be behind the Candy Shack and masking the side exit. We went to the scene shop to find two flats. One 6x10 ft and the other 4x10 ft. We also found sheets of brick looking material and foam large brick sheets. When we came back to the theater, we set up the two flats at an angle larger than 90 degrees and connected them to make a joint. After the walls went up, we got two pieces of wood (2x4) and put them about two feet up off the floor. The point of this is to make it look like the the piece of "rock" or "cement" between the foundation and the siding of a building. Pete cut them to the correct length and angle cut an edge on each piece so that they will come together easy around the joint. I held them up at the right height while Pete first nailed them in then screwed them in. After we put those up, we took the brick sheets and nailed those up. After that, we took the foam sheets of brick and aligned them and had to cut them to fit how we wanted. Those were then screwed on. Once everything was up on the flats, we slid it into place to fit right behind the Candy Shack. The I had someone paint the wood a shade of grey and I went directly behind her with a sponge and black paint. I did not wait for the grey to dry because I would lightly hit the wood with the black painted sponge to leave a texture and slightly rub it with the grey to give it a stone look. I also did that texture work with the edge of the foam that had white showing to hide it. To finish off the wall, I had to edit the brick on top. Part of the brick was already sponged with black to dirty it up, so I needed to go back and blend the rest of the brick with it. I ended up being able to almost completely use the same texture so that it blends well.
