Pigs have friends too!

I started this composition in february, still incomplete because of lockdown and everything. I made few maquettes to see what kind of composition i can work with and this is what i came up with. I just hope everything gets back to normal soon so that I can complete this.

I wanted to try and learn how to directly use mediums without first making it in clay and then taking it's mould, so for the armature i used a wooden round frame and then wrapped foil sheet and newspaper around it followed by one thin layer of resin mixed with chalk powder then plaster of paris( p.o.p) and then again resin for detailing.

My thought behind this composition was to simply narrate pigs having fun with tyres, as here in India we don't actually see pigs as an animal we could pet. But as I mentioned in my second last post i guess that i've been trying to experiment with my subjects i really loved the idea of composing pigs enjoying and playing.

I'm just waiting to work on more compositions like this one. XD
