Fot this piece I used plaster bandage to mold both my head and hand. For the head I wore a swim cap and covered my face and head with vasline, then plaster. I did the face in two parts and then assembled, and the hand in one part. I used a kitchen knife for the impalement and acrylic paint mixed with water for the blood. I assembled and photographed this piece while babysitting my little brothers. They've both decided they will never become artist because its too scary.
I like the setup, but do you think you could do some dramatic lighting on the head to get better contrast between the head and the sheet?
ReplyDeleteI think this looks really good. I like that the head and hand are the only things visible. I think more blood would make it more dramatic, because if you were really stabbed, there would be a lot of blood, especially from a head wound.
