In this video you can see how I finished my new paper mache pig mask, with a little foil, a layer of paper mache, and paint. The pattern goes together fast, and I painted him fast, too. You might want to take a bit more time on your own piggy masterpiece. :)
You can find the pattern and a video showing how it goes together here: ultimatepapermache.com/pig-mask
It's was hard for me to decide how to paint my mask, because there are so many pig breeds, and they come in so many different colors. In the end, I just picked cute spotted pig that matched a can of Chalk spray paint that I found in my basement. I don't normally use acrylics over spray paint - spray primer works great, but spray paint is really slick, and acrylics don't stick to it very well. This paint was ultra-matte, so that's why my experiment worked.
If you're wondering what kind of brush I was using towards the end, it's called a 'wisp' or 'grainer' brush. I bought mine from amazon.com here (affiliate link): amzn.to/4hfh3sC

Now its even easier to sculpt portraits and characters. I added some new pieces to my face-sculpting form (mannequin head) to make it easier to sculpt a face or mask thats flat on the back, and I created new pattern pieces for the neck and shoulders. With the new pieces, you can get started even faster on your next sculpture.
