pink

A glorious shade of pink. We joked we should send a photo to the organizing body and say that we were just on finished.

Maybe they would have said "Great!"

Unfortunately the pink is temporary. Several layers of glue needed to be applied to act as a barrier to the resin. The resin, which will be the outer coat of the sculpture, would eat straight through the polystyrene, so it needs protection with this glue.

The glue is coloured white and it is hard to see where you have been, painting it onto the white polystyrene, so Grant asked if I had any old water based paint. This was it.

It made a strong impression in the landscape.


The next day,  a third coat was applied and the colour changed again to moody purple.  It is amazing how much the colour influences the impression made with the sculpture.
