Un travail fabuleux, vous êtes de grands artistes, félicitations, et surtout continuez, salutations de France Cordialement...Thierry (je restaure du mobilier ancien, ma vidéo : mes restaurations )
Bonjour Monsieur, oui j'ai une petite vidéo, mais c'est plus un diaporama. J'ai posté quelques pièces que j'ai restaurées, : une travailleuse, une boite a courrier , et un fauteuil style dagobert. Voila, vous pouvez si vous le voulez mettre un commentaire : BON ou MAUVAIS, je prends aussi les conseils. Ce n'est pas mon métier, j'étais chauffeur SAMU en France. A la retraire je me suis mis a faire cela dans mon atelier. Bonne soirée, ( ici il est 17h00). Cordialement Thierry. La vidéo: Mes restaurations1
We use Zinsser primer and Behr premium latex paints for outdoor statues. For indoor statues we use Behr and a blend of custom-mixed acrylic paints. Usually Liquitex. Hope this helps! As for skin tones, they are fairly complex based on the statue and its positioning and expected lighting. In the near future, we hope to produce a short series of “how to “videos. In one of those I will ask Pauline to speak specifically to skin tones and how to blend them.
Welcome! We are glad you found us. In the end we did have to replace the glass as well. We tried many different cleaners but we weren’t able to get it clean enough to keep it.
Thanks for posting this: there are so few videos about this, i think I've seen them all, and not one is precisely what I need. I have an Olot mantlepiece statue of the Sacred Heart. It's lightweight--hollow, has glass eyes and plaster hands. Mostly paint damage and fingers damaged showing armature on outheld blessing right hand. I don't know if this is mostly wood paste or all plaster. Any advice?

@@BrushworksStatueRestoration Wow, thanks for the reply and for being willing to look at my project. I made a file folder of pictures but am having trouble sending--file too big. Am researching how to. Will send soon. Thanks again. Patricia from southern California.
The plaster we used is called HydroCal plaster. It dries very white and is considered stronger than common Plaster of Paris. I hope this answers your question. 🤗
Hi Lady Marigold! We use a mix of premium acrylic and latex paints on most of our statue projects. We apply Zinsser primer to help the layers of paint bond well to the statue to avoid an uneven absorption by the plaster - especially if we've had to apply new plaster or sanded down some rougher patches. Interior or exterior prime and paint depending on the project and where the statue will be displayed. We rarely apply sealant over premium paints, unless the statues are likely to be extensively touched.
Thank you so much! I've just received a commission to repaint a 12 inch statue of Our Lady of Lourdes, she has a lot of faded paint and I think a bit of damage from candles sitting a little too close 😆 these videos have been very helpful, your commentary is really clear and to the point. The transformations are very inspiring.

@@BrushworksStatueRestoration thank you so much for replying, lots of help!
Just found your channel! I am curious, did you end up replacing the glass, or were you able to clean it? Such a gorgeous piece. Beautiful job.

Did the plaster heart you made got blessed by the pope?
Yes. And we have a photo of the statue with the Holy Father at that mass in Edmonton.
That Golden Plaster Heart will always be a great Blessing to people who seek for Mary's Love!
@@BrushworksStatueRestoration yey

What is the name of that cement like white color that was used to smoothen the cracks and broken pieces?
The plaster we used is called HydroCal plaster. It dries very white and is considered stronger than common Plaster of Paris. I hope this answers your question. 🤗
@@BrushworksStatueRestoration thank you so much....🥰
Thank you for posting this, may I ask what kind of paint is used? Do you apply a primer and a sealant?

Also, would it be possible to contact you for advice at all? I'm in Australia, otherwise I would get them to send it to you!
