TikiG's Gallery of Paintings - Other Crafts

Here's a project I'm working on - a kinda mid-century loose style tiki I've built from Styrofoam blocks and finished in plaster. This is the first of two I'm building for my tiki bedroom. Finished with the plaster and sculpt, now I'm laying acrylic color washes to bring up the stone quality - I like the way these washes are creating an "agate" like quality. I'll be adding new layers of wash over the next few days until I achieve the effect I like best. Hope you guys like it, as this is my first large three-dimensional tiki piece I've attempted. And yes, I'll post some new paintings in a few days or so. Some cool stuff in the works right now. G
