Hi....I don't usually "play" on the computer so early in the day. BUT today I am absolutely frustrated!!!!(Insert whatever swear words you like!@#@!!)
FIRST: I thought the men looked similiar...but didn't want to say inncase I was wrong. You did a good job. Did you take the photos? or does "headshots" mean that someone else took the photos of you for business purposes sisnce you are listed as an actor? This is a field I know nothing about. Did props for a play in grade nine, we won. In 1998 I had the fun of being the court artist in the Marlee Matlin/ Michael Dudikoff film directed by Sidney Furie titled In Her Defence(not a great film but great for Saint John, NB). Also my actual courtroom sketches played a large part of the History Channel Turning Point documentary, Body of Evidence, by Kevin Mathews for Connection Productions in Moncton about the Burton NB Legere trial. The complete set of over 200 drawings from the trial is at the UNB Law Library, Fredericton.....that's a s close to the acting profession as I get!!!!
SECOND: painting on plaster is not fresco.
I spent yesterday searching once again for "quicklime" or "hotlime" as the old guys called it. Thought I found some, tested it this morning. NO HEAT!!! If it doesn't get hot it's not the right stuff as far as I can figure it out. Hell, plaster gets hotter than that. I am soooo dissapointed. Actually I think painting on plaster may have a similiar feel but their is no "reaction" which makes it a fresco.
Well...I'm not sure I feel better but it helps to pound the keyboard. Gonna try and find the guy on this site who mixed his own lime putty and ask him.
