We finally had a decent day here and I was able to get outside and spray the serpent so I could finish the painting. The serpent is now done, the fisherman and boat are 99% completed. All that remains to do is create the waves washing over the base.
On past projects I've sculpted the waves in clay, made a mold, and cast the waves in resin. It is a time consuming process but provides a dramatic effect! Here is a post with photos of my sculpture of The Old Man And The Sea for a look at resin water : http://blacknick-sculpture.blogspot.com/search?q=resin+water
On this piece I'm going to use Apoxie Sculpt two part clay to create the water. The first step is marking off the direction I want the waves to flow using a marker.
Next I begin using foil to form my waves. The core of foil will save on weight and material. This weekend I hope to have the foil waves set in place so I can begin my wave sculpting.

Cool to see the progress.
ReplyDeleteAh lack of progress. You're doing awesome man. I currently feel like such a tool creatively. I just never seem to have the time or drive to do anything (mostly a lack of time, which also means I have no drive during the very few bits I get off to myself).
Keep on plugging away, I'm interested to see this new approach to water
Its looking good Brian. Cant wait to see the end result.

ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your lack of time to create new work Traumador. I think that is something that faces us all from time to time. I hope your creativity batteries get recharged soon!
Bientôt, le printemps arrive et vous allez nous gratifier de belles oeuvres...
