For the proscenium arch and the side walls of the set, the paint treatment was inspired by a Marc Chagall painting.
![Color blending](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6763568dd0410a5f08ff0d/1691871362591-UOJSS06LPWY70N35U7SD/363918093_802267864723316_8900910485741748460_n.jpg)
The areas of color were painted with very watered-down pigments. Water was sprayed over the paint while wet in order to achieve the watercolor-like blending.

The proscenium arch and the walls were sealed by spraying watered-down clear satin polyacrylic in a 60/40 poly-water proportion.
![Side walls](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6763568dd0410a5f08ff0d/1691871357276-JUMLGBPKCMDDCN8QWNEF/363496332_962157431517085_211650936023367671_n.jpg)
Following the same treatment as the proscenium arch, the two sets of side walls mirrored each other. The paint treatment of both was done simultaneously to achieve this.
