This is the dragon mask, covered with mache made from newspaper and the wood glue paste recipe. Before I paint it, I want to add something, perhaps the gesso made from joint compound and glue, to smooth it out.
What are your thoughts?
Hi Benjamin. Your dragon mask looks really nice already! I hope we can see it after it’s done, too. The DIY gesso will help smooth it out. If you need it to be super-smooth, you can try using just a paper-thin coating of the drywall joint compound by itself. I have a video about it here.
