Lady Caroline - Original Oil Painting

a lot of the work was done with a very small brush to get it just right.
  I sketched the face first to make sure that the profile was in proportion....which a lot of my paintings I usually do not do.  It was then blocked in first with a turpentine wash.  The next stage was all underpainting.  I then worked on the face and hair  until I was happy with the final picture.

Hand sculptured Wall Mural with Decorative Finishes

I have attached a few more of my plaster wall art creations. They are worked on directly onto the wall.
 This wall picture was mostly freehand, the lion in the centre I cast that in plaster from a old door knocker that I had lying around.  Some of the larger flowers on the top of the pot are real flowers from the garden but dipped in plaster first to preserve them.  Then I blended them all in together. I finished off the mural with Acylic Paints



 
Part of this design is made of a mould,  from a old potplant that I had in the garden.. The rest  of the design is freehand.  I then add the effects in Acrylic Paints, then I sealed the finished product.

Murals - Renaissance, Gold Leaf and plaster Decorative Sourrounds

This is a large mural where I have hand sculptured the decorative work  and also used freehand technique moulded in plaster.  Then I finished it all the off in Gold leaf.  The table top I used a marble finish.
