Yes, my studio is full of plaster dust and niblets of dried plaster but all in the name of science. Tried a different material today; plaster of paris instead of the mud in the tub. It was really different to work with and the surfaces of these two feel different than the previous experiments. The colors are much softer too.
I am loving this so much. I burned the surface of one of these with a torch until the plaster swelled and made a loud popping noise. That's the kind of experiment I love. No guts, no glory. Or something like that. Now I have to rush off and do laundry for my trip to Sitka. I'll be posting from there in the coming week. Chow.

Spectacular! I like the softer colors better. What kind of substrate are you using to support the plaster of Paris?
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! So you prefer the Plaster of Paris rather than in the tub? I ask because I have a bag of it in my garage from mold making attempts.
ReplyDeleteBtw, your brothers paintings are wonderful!
