I actually didn’t since I liked the matte surface texture and didnt want to take away from that. There are several finishes one can apply but most all of them affect the sheen. Thanks for watching!
Can you elaborate on that? I’m not sure what you mean by finish. Are you eluding to the luster of the surface of the sculpture? Do you mean plaster as another base? Hmm..
Really nice! I'm a big fan of Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore. I've done some sculpture work with flat wire, polymer clay, and marble, but never plaster. (I'm pretty new to sculpture and still finding my medium.) Can you get a smoother or semi-polished final texture with plaster, or is it always going to be somewhat rough at the end? I've seen smooth, white, open freeform or ribbon-like sculptures and never know what the material is.
Yes! You can get a smooth matte or gloss finish with different clear acrylic spray paints. I am inspired by both those artists and love their work. Happy sculpting and thanks for tuning in!
Basically by smashing them into powder, screening the powder and then cooking the plaster to get all the water out at 250 degrees. It’s a lot of work but saves the plaster from the landfill.
Wow, they all look sooooooo real and awesome ❤🎉 .. I love all the different colors and designs ! Something new for sure ... I don't think I could choose a favorite ... love the video ❤❤❤❤
Hey Veronica! Ironically I am finishing a work with resin and light right now. I will upload the video in about a week to two weeks. Thanks for watching and supporting me!
Beautiful result . I have never seen this process and really interesting to watch . On the parts you sped up I would have added a couple of flames and maybe a little smoke to the vid. :O)
Such great work, a masterpiece! May I ask what you did step by step at the end when you say in the video that you used plaster - for what? Did you go over the sculpture with a coat of plaster (why and with which kind of plaster) and then you painted the piece in gold?
Thank you! I actually only used plaster for the base to balance it vertically. For the sculpture I only sanded, fired it, sanded it again, hand painted and then spray painted to finish. Thanks for watching!
Wow, nicely done. At first, it looks like a bird head, and now you have reformed it into whale or some short of ocean creature.. love the video and Merry Christmas 🎉❤
