Welcome! I'm excited to share with you my journey of creating my own model horse from scratch, including all my challenges, my struggles of overcoming perfectionism, & the moments of joy. This is going to be a chatty art vlog as I show the creation process of making an artist resin horse, from sculpture to final cast.
Given this is my first time sculpting and molding a realistic horse, this video is focused on entertainment as I share both my successes and failures; if you were looking for a tutorial instead, I've linked helpful videos from other channels below.
✨VLOG HIGHLIGHTS:
○ Sculpting with Milliput epoxy putty over a wire armature (aka sculpture frame)
○ Pouring my first multi-part silicone mold
○ Casting with polyurethane resin & exploring mica powder with resin
○ My struggles & lessons learned from my first sculpting & resin casting project
○ A brief look at my older sculpture attempts
