Refining primarily with the scraping tool. And finer markings for the #guineapigs.

I'm learning to flow and relax with #Marblex. A whole new world. Incidentally while raw dogging my practice and not listening to a podcast, I had A Whole New World going thru my head most of the time, the rest of the time being Paint With All the Colours of the Wind.

Wow is Marblex different than Crayola. Way more crumbly. I'm to some degree relearning how to do this! I don't know how to get the detail. And yet, the organic material also adds more realism, somehow. The learning journey continues. Also I added some #guineapigs πΉ

I haven't been super well and didn't do much sculpting for a while, but I had a chance to move forward last night.
I feel a bit rusty & between that and the new clay, things don't feel quite the same as they have in the past, but that's ok. We'll get somewhere.

I love to participate in these things, but so rarely use pink in my work ... found something though ...

New project. New clay! #Marblex. Pretty different than Crayola, clearly better quality but definitely an adjustment in technique. More earthy, less plasticity.

Sign saying Downtown Acton: It's Worth the Drive!
Also imho this is still the best slogan of all time.

Sign by a country road says "Woolwich Township Bloomingdale Drive like you children live here."
It reminds me this a sign in Bloomingdale, Ontario. What about other people's children? I always think it could be phrased better.

I've upgraded to a better clay (Marblex) but I have no idea how long it will last over time. So my current strategy is simply ask to ask for material and shipping covered ...

Took me a while to finalize this work, because I wanted to really dry out the paint before working with the base. And now it's done!

He's at the gallery now! For those who live in KW, check out the People's Gallery at the The Art Store, starting tomorrow, for all of September - see this dude in real life, and lots of other great art! (& buy art supplies & support local!)

I keep telling people this about Bluesky who are still primarily on Facebook. What it's like to come onto a platform and just feel good or neutral the entire time you're on it. I think people can't conceptualize this could be so.
