Italian Plaster Portrait Placque:

In Progress

 

Missing areas have been filled, with castings from intact areas.

This item was originall leafed with silver, then tinted to give a golden effect. Silver leaf has been applied over repairs, distressed, and a preliminary colorant added. Additional colorings will match this to the remainder.

Cove where side pieces were originally glued in with misalignment has been given a base coat, and will require matching of other paint.

 

 

 
 
 
 
 

 

Finished. Caseins were used to match the cove paint over repairs.
