I have painted a few busts, my advice: Take your time with it, paint something smaller on the side so you can return to the bust when you feel like it. It took me months to complete my Countess Karnstein for example. Oh yeah, the plan is to take it at a slow and steady pace, doubly so since I'll be painting her mainly in oils (although I can guarantee mixed media is going to come into play) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds cool. Will there be a WIP? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will there be a WIP? Vince Venturella's video on such is where I got the whole "huh, they make a good point" thought on it, since in so many places it's a one or the other argument (or acrylic to prime, then all oils after). I like his argument of right tool for the job, and making use of the strengths each offer. Odds are there will be a WIP thread, but for now, here, have a pic of just after the wet sanding and (dish detergent) bubble bath... She wound up drying like that for a few hours and then was flipped upside down to let any residual isopropyl (or water) left inside dry out, since I made sure to give the hollowed out interior a good cleaning and rinsing. Had to wet sand because some areas my supports left some pretty bad gouges due to how I removed them. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The X-ray had shown only minimal damage, but the knee kept hurting after months of treatment. I got the results from my recent MRI, and the cartilage is apparently mostly gone. So a knee replacement is in my future. Have an appointment March 30 to talk to the doc about it. I had to get my left knee replaced about 5 years ago. Do your therapy, it will be worth it! Prayers up for you. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGP Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 So did anybody see the Cocaine Bear movie? @Reaper_Jon mentioned it a week ago. I have now read two different versions of the original story, Slightly curious what they did with it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people who have had very good results. My doc has given me a list of surgeons and urged me to pick one for shoulder replacement. I was like "Nope! It's going to have to fall off before I consider that." 10 hours ago, Glitterwolf said: There are youtube vids on the subject of mixing oils and acrylics, worth to look at I think. It's not hard to do. I used to exclusively paint with oils, and started adding acrylics in the early 90s. The key is to make sure your layers are very dry when switching between the two mediums. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that oils and resin don't mix too well (definitely not with the resins ball jointed dolls are made from), I'll be following this one with interest, I think. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, she's a rather lovely sculpt to say the least! The 75mm version of Oleana is also printed, but Meirsoa really pulls my attention the most at this time. 25 minutes ago, Sylverthorne said: Huhn. I've heard that oils and resin don't mix too well (definitely not with the resins ball jointed dolls are made from), I'll be following this one with interest, I think. As Inarah mentioned, it's really a case of doing things one of two ways - waiting for things to dry, or - only using one type of paint in an area. Vince showcased both in that oils vs acrylics video, and I'm probably going to go mainly oils for skin and fabric, and leaning more towards acrylic use for filters and the hair.. Given that she will mainly get my attention on weekends, I doubt the waiting for paint to dry will be much of an issue 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
