Shark Casting

The shark is coming along really well. The molds are complete and the first cast came out needing only minor fixes along the seam line.




After working on the seams I primed the entire model. It was then that I wasn't happy with the results. Alot of the detail on the sculpture was just too harsh. It just wasn't what I had intended so I took a gamble and tried something. I picked up a bottle of Golden Extra Heavy Matte Medium and mixed it with some gray paint. This made the consistency of the paint the same as tooth paste. When I painted it on the surface if filled in alot of the deep line and made them shallow. This was exactly what I wanted to happen and it did!
