phantom of the opera bust

[mcsneed17]

how should i start painting this bust.

Hey Mark!

I dont know what this busts looks like, but I would suggest starting by cleaning up the mold lines and then prime it with a light gray color. Then depending on the bust I would probably paint the face, and then go from there.

How about pictures of the bust and a more specific qq=uestion? They are easier to answer then.

Mark-

Very carefully!

Anders comments are a good start. Check for mold lines, clean with a light rub of 000 or finer steel wool, wash and scrub in warm soap and water.

I brush prime with Val foundation white - 2 coats and away you go.

Would love to see the bust and your color plans.

Chris-

Thanks. Yes it is airbrushed. The Geometric busts are so full of character that they basically paint themselves. I love the subjects.

Hey Yancy,

Really nice job. I like the purple around the eyes. You did a nasty job on those teeth.
