Severed Head

I have recently doing a comission to produce a copy of a performers head. The process included a full head cast in chevant, re-sculpt and re-mould and ultimate cast in latex and PU foam. Here are some images documenting the job.

Chevant cast of the models head. The oil based clay is melted and poured/slushed around the alginate and plaster mould of the model.



PU foam & latex is cast in to the 2 part plaster mould of the chevant cast/sculpt.



Finished paint job using acrylics mixed with latex and cut with a very small amount of water in order to be airbrushed.
