After deciding what's actually going to be in my picture, the starting point for my work was going to be the background. I wanted the work to be on a large board of fairly thick MDF. So I went to B&Q and bought a huge 4.3ft x 2.6 board. I then decided to wallpaper the board with textured wallpaper and painted in with acrylic paints to create the backdrop.
The next step was to plan out my shapes of the main stage, tents and other objects. I made them roughly with plain white paper to just get the sizing correct and then blu-tacked them on to check it all looked in proportion.
I decided these items are far too small for the board and won't look right at this size so I've made them again, but bigger!
