This statue was pretty challenging. As always the difficult part is the sanding/smoothing of the cracks. In this case the cracks were in the statue itself not the paint. So I smoothed them and then filled and sanded the rough spots. Next up was quite a few priming coats. Then the best part...the actual painting! I used Nova color acrylic paints. I painted the robes first because it's the largest area and then began the skin tones. I'm always happiest when all the bright white is off the statue. Then your eye can really see the colors. I gave it a matte varnish finish but it still made it glossy. This was a really fun commission!
