I demonstrate how to apply a patina to a bronze horse.

This is a horse sculpture I cast at my home foundry. I use a soap that will not effect the metal surface. It removes oil or dirt prior to applying the patina. I use a torch to apply the chemical solution for the color I want.
I build a simple head with earthenware clay in this movie. It was done with recycled clay. I hope to have a DVD out soon.

In this little video I mix moulding plaster for pouring. It works good for keeping a record of the portrait I have done. I put them on the wall in bas-relief fashion. I use half of the 2 part portrait mold for casting.
For you sculptors out there that want to learn about plaster and how to use it this is a little instructional for making a bronze patina on plaster. It is quick and easy. I hope to make a library of tutorials available at my website.
