a premade armature as a base for figure-building with aluminum
foil. In this project, you will use premixed Paverpol in grey,
terra cotta, black and bronze to make four stepped-out examples
to use in your classes. The figures should be placed on a single
canvas and in interesting poses. This piece will also serve as a
color sample for your classes. You will dry-wrap one figure with
cotton gauze and brush on Paverpol; wet-wrap one with t-shirt
strips; wrap one with Paverpol Wrappers. The fourth figure in
the series will be wrapped in the method of your choice and
draped and dressed. You will also make a simple wig with
Pavercotton for your figurine. When your figurine is dry, you
will learn how to apply dry brushing for a finishing touch. You
will learn to use varnish, tint varnish and special effect
techniques
