These are quick paintings that I did in my sketchbook in

Priley Riley, Wax Casting, 2nd December 2013
 |
|
I did wax casting today
for the first time and I think that the process is long but very enjoyable. I
made moulds of a pear and an apple, which can be seen in the photo above. To
make the moulds, I covered half of the fruit with clay, built a tall clay wall
around this, and poured a mixture of water and fine casting plaster into this.
I then let it dry, removed the clay wall and base, and was left with one half
of the mould. I did the same to the other side of the fruit, before putting a small
hole through the moulds. I kept the moulds separate and brushed melted wax into
them. I then placed one mould on top of the other and poured more wax through
the small hole that I made, before pouring it back out. I then poured water
through the hole, poured this back out, left the moulds together for a minute,
and then took them apart and pulled out my casted fruit. The casts that I made
are shown below.
