Idenden Brush-coat, which is a texturing compound commonly used in the theatre here, also works very well. Are hands bigger than faces, is the length of a nose roughly the same as the distance from it to the bottom of the face, is the space between the eyes the same as the length of an eye? color:#ffffff; max-width:250px Each application will take a few hours to dry after which you should sand it down and, again, before you start painting always apply another layer of sealant. that you use on wall cracks can be used in fine art? The photo below illustrates a delightful technique called sledging which is still known to some traditional plasterers, used to create profile shapes particularly for wall cornices. It also makes the process of building up in stages quite a lengthy one because a few hours are needed before it’s safe to model the next layer. This contracts a little as it does so it can be taken out easily. Take a look at our step-by-step video lessons covering everything from the basics through to portraits... For example below I am modelling a figure directly onto a drawing, without using an armature. padding:30px 10px 20px 30px; The sanding can then be completed. over the lump like you're spreading jelly on toast. } Each application will take a few hours to dry after which you should sand it down and, again, before you start painting always apply another layer of sealant. Perhaps ‘containment’ would express it just as well. In my post from March 2013 Modelling small-scale figures I provide a step-by-step account of making the simple armature out of twisted garden wire below. Some are light, some are quite heavy. To get back to the three basic types of clay .. the second category is the air-drying materials which all share having water, in the place of oil, as a carrier and these will harden as the water evaporates. float:right; border:2px solid #e0664b; I normally use the most common blue form of styrofoam which comes in sheets 2.5cm thick (although thicker sheets can also be found). .drawingctabox { For the characteristic ‘quilting’ effect on the Chesterfield, more properly referred to as buttoning I think, I just marked out the pattern before gluing the pieces together and made the indentations by pressing in the corner of a small metal ruler. Some object The most common commercial name for the filler is called Polyfilla. display:inline-block; After the surface is primed I start to add texture quite liberally, mainly around and below the horizon. I prime my board with three layers of gesso, sanded between applications. There are the plasticine clays which remain soft and workable almost indefinitely, even after long exposure to the air. For these I’ve taking the trouble, not only to find the clearest, most authentic looking and most general models for the proportions and details of the human figure but I’ve also adjusted them all in size to fit the 1:25 scale. The Pebeo ‘Cerne Relief’ glass-painting outliner is a thicker medium and the small tube comes with a much finer nozzle, so very detailed effects are possible. I like mud because it is unpredictable – you can’t be too precise with it. This particular shape needed to be more ‘pill’ like i.e. A good armature is not only there for structural support, it should also be as far as possible a guide as to where to put the clay .. it should impose some control. Pricewise they are very good; after natural clay some are the cheapest clays around! Pva wood glue contracts a great deal as it dries so there is usually no danger of losing detail in the modelling, even after more than one coat.
