  08-01-2021 23:57 via artnews.com
  
  Epic scenes of the kind featured in paintings of battles, coronations, and other major historical events are not the specialty of Nick Quijano, an artist based in Puerto Rico, with an online exhibition hosted by Fort Gansevoort devoted to works geared toward intimate scenes of everyday life around his home in Old San Juan.

• For Your Next Sculpture Project, Use the Best Plaster for Moldmaking

  08-01-2021 23:22 via artnews.com
  
  A common casting medium, plaster is also a popular pick for making molds. Using this substance, which is manufactured in powder form, is ideal when you want a rigid structure to make casts as an alternative to using silicone or polyurethane molds. Many mixtures are called plaster of Paris—so named for the abundant deposits of pure gypsum near the eponymous city, originally used to make plaster—and are typically easy to prepare and easily workable. Other plasters as well as the plaste

• The Best Nail Guns for Large Projects

  08-01-2021 23:13 via artnews.com

  08-01-2021 22:58 via artnews.com
  
  To make low-cost and long-lasting molds, choose latex. Manufactured in liquid form for mold making, it can be brushed on to objects or poured over surfaces to capture exact details. Once exposed to air, the curing process begins, and multiple layers can be built up to yield a thick and pliant mold that can be used for dozens, if not hundreds, of castings. Because latex is a tough material, it can even withstand tough substances such as concrete. With proper care, your latex mold can enjoy a very
