In this lesson with Sue we looked at creating molds, applying these and how to colour to look realistic. She started by making sure the area was clean. She then took the mold and cut off any edges that may have been to big to blend away. She then used pros-aid, being a contact adhesive you need to apply it to the piece and then onto the body. Waited for it to go clear and then pushed the mold piece onto the skin. She pushed down on the piece and began to blend away the edges with witch hazel and a cotton bud. Once she was happy she coloured it with foundation and then began to fill in the wound with blood and red cream paints. 

It was then our go to create our own wounds and apply moulded pieces.

Firstly I applied the piece with pros-aid and insured that it was stuck down firmly. I then began to blend away the edges with witch hazel. Once I was happy I then started to paint it.



This is the final outcome. I wasn't happy with the edges, they started to lift off when I applied the powder, I believe this is because I didn't put enough pros-aid on the wound and skin.
I'm happy with the colouring inside the wound but the colouring on the skin was too pink. I know how to fix this now.
