One
of the most transformational parts of Ecorche with Rey Bustos at LAAFA
was spray painting the baked ecorche. I was careful to mask the hand and foot that I
wanted to remain the fleshy color of Sculpey with aluminum foil before
painting. You can see below how a light coat of off-white spray
paint really shows off all the sculpting work that goes into the skeletal
portion of the ecorche.
In class, Rey had a "varnishing station' set up for us. We lightly brushed varnish over our spray painted ecorches. We only applied the varnish to the left side, the side that will remain as exposed skeleton. We left the right side coated with spray paint only, so the clay we apply to represent muscles will stick. The effect of the varnish over the spray paint is fantastic- don't you think?
