Costume breakdown techniques

On 23rd and 30th January, I completed a costume breakdown course with well established Costume Breakdown Artist - Rosi Flood. As well as leaning dyeing techniques and advanced colour theory, I learned essential breakdown techniques used for TV and film.

Sweat, grass stains, mud on dip dyed linen & jeans & blood on broken down suede:

Mud mixed & ready to try out on some samples:
