Hello all I want show you the piece that I´m working now. When I have finished this will be a corner street : I used in this case a wood structure , with cork and for coniche I do a skeleton with thootpicks and a layer of newspapers I equalize it all with a layer of gesso.


cheers

Great work Carlos,
The corniche is amazing.
Such great things to learn from you.
Congratulations.
Alexandre.

I cannot wait to see the progress.

Hola Carlos
The cornice looks great as mentioned, and the toothpick method is a logical step from using different wire gauges for curved applications.
Good stuff
Brad

Superb, I love the corniche, really stunning. G.

Once again, brilliant stuff! Carlos, I'm interested what is the purpose of the newspaper on the side of the building (on the stone)?

,
hello Bajtur, the news paper has several functions, serve to hide the union between the pieces and also it serves to give slight variations of texture in a material. In order to secure an interesting effect in a wall it must have several textures. This paper serves so that the cork loses uniformity and can simulate old paint in the facade
cheers

Thank you for the answer, Carlos! I will try this method in the future.
Primož

Amazing work as always Carlos. Another beautiful building.

Just very great looking as usual Carlos but.. so few? We usually have whole streets from you on a single post !
I wait for the follow up

Frank, Jean, thanks for pay atention to my work:-9

Jean... well if you want to see a very good scale street I want suggest you strongly the work of the Guy... one day in the distant future I want paint as him : -)
regards
Carlos

a bit more... I have detailed the front shop and starta the lateral walls. I have used cardboard from a parfum publicity due is very glossy texture.I want imitate matt glass with this. I used wood with no grain for reproduce true wood. This need a lot of work as you can see:-)
cheers
Carlos

You have found good solutions to create several textures and not just the cork structure. This will be another artwork when finished. I look forward for updates of this educational topic. G.
