Figures are Painted

Off they go! 

The fluorescent yellow paint looks even brighter in reality!

Preparing the surface

No not torturing sculptures! Sanding the surface ready for undercoating.

Faith takes a break to check on her work. Loads of dust created in this little room!

Two running figures hanging around after undercoating!

Figures coated with fibre glass resin, resin room in background

Coating each figure with fibre glass resin is done in the small room at the back of my studio. This helps contain the fumes and dust the process generates! I also wear a mask with an air line attached to help me breathe. The glass matting is laid on and the resin helps it stick together (think canoes)! Each layer of resin is then sanded to achieve a smooth finish ready for painting.

Because this commission needed to be created quickly I employed Jess Chinnery to assist me with these laborious processes. Huge thanks to Jess for all her hard work!
