Cast plaster.
February 6, 2008
I have been trying my hand at making plaster casts. I plan on mounting them to the surface of paintings to add an extra dimension to my work. I have been using what ever is around for molds, in this case trays from boxes of chocolates.
I made two casts with plaster of Paris and mounted them to plywood supports. Then I gessoed the surface with several coats of Daniel Smith coloured gesso. I then began painting with Daniel Smith metallic oil paint.
The top panel is to be kept simple, and all I did was gild gold and aluminum foil to the surface of the plywood.
