In this BONUS episode, part of the conversation, hosts Maranda DeBusk and Josafath Reynoso dive into scenic painting with Jason Ammons—from the way complex colors bring depth to a set, to why trusting the process is more important than obsessing over perfection. It’s a masterclass in both artistry and mindset, filled with stories from the paint shop that prove design is as much about experimentation as it is about skill.
