We have always hesitated before recommending the use of Styrofoam/Polystyrene as a sculpting core. In the Arch project, Steven and Kim were working with straight foam as an experiment to see how it performed with Pal Tiya Premium (PTP). Surprisingly it worked, with two significant catches. Starting out, their concerns were straight foam is crumbly so PTP has never stuck to it. Also, that the foam would also draw the moisture out as our product cures. They discovered that spray foam (from a can) does draw the water out, but white polystyrene foam doesn't. By propane torching and burning back the surface of the Polystyrene, the surface shrank, fused together and became quite spiky, a perfect sticking surface for vertical climbs. The catches? Polystyrene is still extremely messy. While cutting and trimming, the white beads got everywhere. They took a lot of trouble to make sure the beads didn't get anywhere birds could eat them. The fumes from the burning are horribly nasty and must be done outdoors. The spray foam is expensive and the fumes can be toxic. Use only in a well ventilated space. Building the arch from Polystyrene only took about three hours. We suspect it would take about 4 hours to do the same with cardboard and foil. In conclusion: Foam will work, and there will be professional applications for this technique. However, if you have a simple budget, a small studio and limited ventilation, Foil/Cardboard is still a great option. Don't forget to look for the Assyrian Warhorse sculpture in the video and watch till the end for outtakes! Drop a comment over on YouTube and let us know what you think. This also helps YouTube serve our videos up to more people ☺ Thanks, The Pal Tiya Crew This sculpture is based on those lovely fertility figures from history and shows the Jade Lady in a simple Lotus yoga pose. Pal Tiya International Co-Founder and Creative Director Kim Beaton shows us how to first draw up and make an accurate human figure, how to tint Pal Tiya Premium mix with oxides, making the armature and creating this gorgeous sculpture. The procedure we are using in this video is based on the European Art of Scagliola for imitation marble designed for indoor use. As our product can go outdoors in any weather we are using this technique to achieve a beautiful finish for our Jade Lady. We appreciate likes and comments over on our YouTube channel so more people find out about Pal Tiya Premium and the massive benefits of using it in their next creative project! Drop a comment over there and let us know what you think ☺ Grab an egg nog or some mulled wine and sit and watch this little Christmas Gingerbread House (no calories included) being sculpted then painted to look a gorgeous biscuit colour. Don't sink your teeth in though because this is solid! We've got some GREAT deals in our online stores right NOW so check them out! Happy Holidays, The Pal Tiya Crew Many customers have been asking for these. This is the third in a new YouTube playlist we're calling Miniature Village House Techniques. These houses are for a private commission and are being made on the Weta Workshop Stage in New Zealand by Pal Tiya International Co-Founder & Creative Director Kim Beaton and a team of very talented artists. Bob and his son Joe Stafford from Stafford Sculpture had a fabulous idea and dream to sculpt an 8ft Tree using Pal Tiya Premium. See Parts 1 & 2 below! |
