Not finished yet, but a lot of fun to try out! Using a paintbrush with a water well in the handle is really helpful and makes the pencils easy to use when you're out and about . . .
Come by the Mantle Gallery and see some great artwork from the artists in Louisville Clay! This is the first piece I've had in a gallery in a while- finally getting back into it! Click the button above to be transported to the lovely L.A.G. pics taken by Judy Rosati! It was a great weekend!
The posing, plastering, sculpting, bisque-firing, and primering stages are all complete. The next step is definitely to put your favorite hat on your sculpture and send a picture of it to the model, right? Freshly primered Kevin: ![]() The next step is to spend 2 solid days painting it, and a few scattered hours in between, without having thought it through enough. Mmmmmmmm that doesn't sound quite right. ![]() It doesn't look quite right, either. Not at all what I was shooting for. So I have a bad habit of not making maquettes before starting major pieces. I work on an idea in my sketchbook, write out a lot of possibilities and details, and then dive in. Sometimes it works out great, and sometimes I put lots of takes-a-long-time-to-dry oil paint on the piece and hate it. But have to wipe off what paint I can and wait for the rest to dry before I can redo it. Ugh. ![]() This was me, if the mud was chocolate. ![]() Make some more things to de-grump and pass the time. Then, lo! The paint has FINALLY dried!
