“What Plaster Do You Use?”

"What plaster do you use?" is a question I'm asked at least a couple times every week, and while I really don't mind, it is quite a difficult question to answer. Plaster is not an easy medium to use for artwork, and it is especially difficult to master. It cracks, it peels, it crumbles. It can be too soft, too hard, too dry, too wet.

Let's face it, plaster is not designed to be used for artwork.
