Really nice! I'm a big fan of Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore. I've done some sculpture work with flat wire, polymer clay, and marble, but never plaster. (I'm pretty new to sculpture and still finding my medium.) Can you get a smoother or semi-polished final texture with plaster, or is it always going to be somewhat rough at the end? I've seen smooth, white, open freeform or ribbon-like sculptures and never know what the material is.
Yes! You can get a smooth matte or gloss finish with different clear acrylic spray paints. I am inspired by both those artists and love their work. Happy sculpting and thanks for tuning in!
I actually didn’t since I liked the matte surface texture and didnt want to take away from that. There are several finishes one can apply but most all of them affect the sheen. Thanks for watching!
Basically by smashing them into powder, screening the powder and then cooking the plaster to get all the water out at 250 degrees. It’s a lot of work but saves the plaster from the landfill.
the Italian masters way of mixing plaster . dry lake bed
Yes! I never fully understood dry lake bed so I always used the term The island method.

Good Video.. Do you coat the finished sculpture with anything or just leave it as is ?

How do you repurpose the plaster chippings?

@@artwithandrews7267 and then do you use as before?
Yes. So far I have found that it sets up well
Watching this stoned and fighting bad depression, I really need to do this.
