I really like the addition of the man with umbrella. It gives you a way to add the human figure to your work. For some reason it reminds me of Magritte.
I see you are sneaking away from the Thanksgiving meal to post.. now that's dedication. I love these new stamps and agree with Andrew on the human figure. I tried to use your process with some molding paste on smaller pieces of board and didn't really work well. I think you need the plaster to be smooth and hard in order to wipe away the paints. The molding paste kind of absorbed it, even with gel medium.
Hey Andy, I had the same thought about Magritte. Hi Judy, I seal my plaster with two coats of polymer gloss medium before trying to apply colors. (Before sealing, it helps to sand the textures a little to smooth the raised surfaces.) Good luck - I hope you get some great results!
