An happy Sunday to all hivers here! Now the sky over my city is full of dark clouds and I'm crossing my finger for some rain after a lot of very hot days!
Today I'm here to share with you my recent "experiment". Since some months I feel the need to try new materials for my artworks, especially formy small sculptures.One of my friend who is an artist I love so much, a couple of years ago told me about his work with cement and I was very intrigued by it. Cement is an interesting materials for me, because I like to observe the shades of colors on the wall with the sign of the time and the weather and also because Ilike to work around the theme of "home/house" and so I decided to try!
In the following pic you can see the final result of the first "prototype":
It was my first time with cement, but my hubby @paolobeneforti guided me on how to do it.
At first I made the wooden shape in form of an house and after I put a mix of cement, water and sand inside inside of it:
When the cement was dried enough I started to use my colors on the little cement house (it's tall around 10 cm):
I painted just one side of the house and it reminds me an house with a murales. ^^
At the end, I can say I'm satisfied by the result, I like how the colors work on the cement and I like also the side where I didn't paint anything, so I'll create some other similar ones to make a sort of village. ^^
See ya soon and stay safe,
Silvia
