Making a Spanish polychrome sculpture
Female voiceover: Underneath its ornate exterior, the sculpture, "Saint Gin?s de la Jara," has a core made of two hollow, wooden structures.발음듣기
On the bottom, is a large, box-like section, which is reinforced inside with a small wood block attatched on the front left.발음듣기
The eyes, made of glass, are inserted into the face from behind, and glued to the carved eyelids.발음듣기
With the general structure now complete, the sculpture is ready for the intricate surface treatments of Estofado and Encarnaciones, creating the lifelike cloth and flesh we see today.발음듣기
Female voiceover: Beginning to shape the block of wood, the form would be drawn on one of the surfaces that the sculptor chose.발음듣기
To start reducing the bulk of the wood, quite big tools would be used initially to move fast, like saws or big chisels.발음듣기
(sawing) Once the basic shape had been achieved, it would be the equivalent of a rough sketch, but in 3 dimensions.발음듣기
(hammering) (wood shaving) Then, using increasingly fine tools, the shape is actually brought out of the block of wood.발음듣기
(wood shaving) (tools moving) Both in Central Spain, and in Andalusia, was a great concern for the quality of wood to be used in the carved figures.발음듣기
So, the craftsmen, and the artists, and the sculptors were very, very aware of what sorts of choices would be longer lasting, be more worthy of admiration, and so on.발음듣기
As the tools become smaller, and more delicately shaped, it's possible for the sculptor to work on a much smaller scale, perhaps carving the shape of a finger, and tapering it at the point, perhaps creating the relief of the nail.발음듣기
There's a constant dialog in play between the 3-dimensional form and the 2-dimensional surface decoration.발음듣기
To prepare the glue, sheep skin would be boiled in water by clipping parchment scraps to extract the glue.발음듣기
(scraping) The next stage, in this laborious method of building up these layers, would be to apply the red bole.발음듣기
Bole is a special kind of clay that has traditionally been used since antiquity, as the under layer for applying, what we call, water gilding.발음듣기
When it was dry, it would first be polished, and then very importantly a burnishing stone, which is usually an agate, compresses the layer of bole, and brings a lustre to the surface, and also, once again, smooths the texture.발음듣기
It's then ready to receive the gold leaf. the gilder would pick up the gold leaf with a special brush called a "tip."발음듣기
And, with a tiny puff of air, just apply it onto the surface of the bole, which had been dampened with water and alcohol.발음듣기
Just that tiny bit of moisture would activate the glue in the bole layer, and it would adhere the gold.발음듣기
When it's dried and burnished, on top, over the layer of gold, a layer of tempera paint could be applied.발음듣기
In order to keep the pattern consistent, a paper pattern would be prepared that could be pricked.발음듣기
(tapping) Then, tiny bits of pigment would be transferred through those tiny holes, and onto the surface to be decorated.발음듣기
Once the design is transferred in this way, then the polychromer can start to scratch, or scrape, the designs.발음듣기
By doing this, he would remove that top layer of paint, the tempera paint, and reveal the gold underneath it.발음듣기
Punches are metal tools that are struck with a hammer to make a little indentation, so the light plays across them with a little more drama than just in the scratched areas.발음듣기
To finish, and give greater subtlety to these surfaces in the texture and material, shading and highlighting can then be done.발음듣기
Estofado technique of scratching away and revealing the gold underneath gives more points for the light to reflect from, and give greater definition to the 3-dimensional form.발음듣기
They were more realistic because clearly it differentiates the hands and faces from the decorative surfaces of the fabrics.발음듣기
The wood would be initially sealed with all of these layers of glue by brushing onto the sanded wood.발음듣기
(scraping) Dried gesso would be mixed into the glue as well to start building up the gesso layer.발음듣기
This would then be applied with a soft brush, and rubbed into the wooden surface, so it's really well integrated to that surface.발음듣기
When these preparation layers of gesso in the glue have been well dried for 24 hours, they can then be polished to give a smooth surface that will be receptive to the paints that will then be applied.발음듣기
(scraping) In matte Encarnaciones, you would simply paint the oil paint onto the surface that's been very beautifully prepared in the gesso layer.발음듣기
You're to do a first layer using a middle flesh tone, and using blue for areas where there might be veins near the surface of the skin, and so on.발음듣기
Once that layer was dry, again, the artist would return and would paint everywhere with just a single flesh-tone color, but very, very thin, so that layers underneath would subtly show through. Then finally, detail.발음듣기
For example, pink highlights around the fingernails would be applied very delicately on top of this general flesh-toned layer.발음듣기
