Atelier Arenas at Rancho Flor del Cerro
Mexico
Приєднався 17 вер 2008
These videos are about our lives here in Mexico, and my work in the studio. Far too many sculptors come to a dead stop because making sculpture isn’t easy or cheap and then stops being fun. It can get hard really fast when you’re paying a foundry, or unable to pay for firings. That’s one of my reasons for elevating paper mache to a fine art form. This method is an innovative, inexpensive, durable, lightweight, technique of laminating paper into plaster molds which I hope helps you to continue loving the process of making sculptures. And, I hope you enjoy the scenes of our dogs, and our Rancho in Mexico where we work, with a window onto Mexican life for an immigrant. Sculpture by Diane Louise van der Zanden at Atelier Arenas on Rancho Flor del Cerro in Colima Mexico. Check out my sculpture, mold making and paper mache playlists for more videos from other artists.

I became a paper mache pro with this one. It tested all my skills and ingenuity.
This is more of an intermediate artist video. It begins in the middle of the Venetian mask making method, after I’ve learned a lot. You might want to check out previous videos about mold making, mask making and use of color along with watching this one.

🌠Did you use kraft paper from the beginning or did you eventually come to it?
💫 Que buen video Diane , felicidades cada ves mejor!!!!
Aaaw. 😊 Muchísimas gracias Rogelio ❤️
Just found your videos. Your work is technical in nature while also being natural in form. Love it.
Thank you. Very sweet of you and you got me pegged, haha. 😃
🎉
Thank you ‼️
🌠
You are a shooting star‼️
Such a great process!
So much fun, right? 😃
👏👏👏💫❤️🔥🔥❤️🔥💫
Cool, cool, cool‼️Thanks😃
Hola buenas tardes, vivo en USA y he tratado de buscar el yeso USG pero no lo encuentro seria tan amable de compartir el lin o el nombre especifico de el producto?muchas gracias
Holaaaa! Se llama yeso de París. In English, plaster of Paris, or casting plaster. O yeso para moldes. Mold plaster. No se dónde vives, pero se vende en home Depot o Lowe's o en tiendas de arte. ❤️
I 'could' have a studio, but my wife would rather keep/collect senseless, useless garbage that will sit around unused, collecting dust for decades.
Hi! I would go glue some of her "stuff" together in interesting ways, hahaha 😂 Good luck with that.
wonderful stuff! it is clear that you have an Artist's "eye" and a craftsman's skill - bravo! do you have a list of materials? (liquid paper mache?) also, videos showing how you make plaster molds? thank you for this excellent education!
Thank you! I love craft and figuring out how to make stuff. I have many mold making videos. The most recent series called Diane’s "Pride" has two, and these are older: ua-cam.com/video/kFX7ITV5SYQ/v-deo.htmlsi=9Iock1R2CiEXlbnW ua-cam.com/video/Nq0RWq7wPH0/v-deo.htmlsi=krWIFOQxoy_JtyW2 And I plan on making a video soon where I show all the materials. But now that I think about it, there is one from a while back. Take a look at my channel and you’ll find it. 🙂
It’s called "shockingly inexpensive sculpture" the thumbnail says "sculpture on the cheap"
Excellent ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you 😊
Hope you were able to weather the storm (John). I see it came very close to you.
Hi. It was pretty far from us, luckily 😆 Just a little rain, but that may have been a local system. Good to hear from you.
My comment was deleted. I got the link wrong anyway 🤷
Maybe because I had to re-load the video. The audio got corrupted!
I love watching you work on your sculptures! I will absolutely be trying this recipe. Do you think it could be used in the molds alone, without any layers of paper and glue? If so what would you suggest for mold release? I am trying to capture more detailed textures and my sculptures are much smaller than yours. Thank you for sharing your techniques.
Thank you!!! The paper paste absolutely can be used in the molds but it's a different technique. It's more fragile and it shrinks, but working small, like you are, it will take the details of the mold. There's a video in my paper mache playlist where a man makes a tangerine using toilet paper. That might help you. Make sure to use wax and some kind of thinner as a mold release. Vaseline migrates and can discolor the final piece. ❤️😊
Thank you so much. The video you suggested was perfect!
Yay@@Ko2do ‼️ Let me know how it goes. 😊
Love it all. You are so talented. And so are the dogs.
Hahaha. Dogs make me happy. Thanks Ginger! ❤️❤️❤️
Por favor me puede decir que clase de plaster utiliza.Gracias
Con gusto! Me gusta, más que nada el yeso USG de home Depot. Pero puedes usar casi cualquier ”yeso de París" de las tiendas de construcción, como Construrama. Suerte 🍀❤️
Muchas gracias.@@atelierarenas
Un placer yesika😊
Many thanks for letting us in on your knowledge, Diane. Came back to check for new vids and was not disappointed. Also I loved the dogs! Such a happy bunch
You're so welcome. I'm glad that you like the videos and my doggies ☺️ ❤️
FELICIDADES Diane , que buen video!!! 👍
Gracias Rogelio ❤️❤️❤️
I enjoy seeing how you do this work so much.. even though I'm not going to do it myself. And actually I think the brown paper itself is quite beautiful, without any other color. It looks very warm and natural to me.
Aw thanks Anne 😀 I agree with you about the paper. In person, it looks like leather. Maybe I'll polyurethane the original "Pride" without color to see how that looks. It's nice to hear from you and I hope you're well ❤️❤️❤️
Great video 👍
So sweet! I'm learning 😁Thank you very much.
My paper mache projects are on hiatus indefinitely as I have some major home and garden projects to tackle. I have been gathering supplies to make a few molds though. I really like the jade green but the decision should ultimately be yours. I also love the glimpse into your surroundings, especially the garden as that's one of passions too.
Thanks for the comments! I always wonder if people want to see more than just how the sculptures are made. And one tic for green. How fun. Enjoy your garden as I enjoy mine 💚🌱🌿🍀
I think your info is great. Thank you 😊
That's nice to hear. Thank you!
I am Harold Mettler artist doing painting, woodblock printing and sculpture. Are very much impressed by what you are doing. I abandoned bronze sculpture earlier because of the high financial costs I am encouraged by your paper casting technique. It's working 💪😊👍
Hi Harold. Thank you. Your message helps me so much on a day like today when I feel like a crazy person for continuing to try to make sculpture. 😆 I'm so glad it's working for you. I'd love to see your work.
You are inspiring me 😊
I'm so glad to hear that❣️ Thank you😊
Hail for Jonni Good! I think watching her content is what made UA-cam suggest me your channel :)
Yes! She's great 😃 Her channel has helped me a lot. Glad to hear that you got here from there ❤️
I LOVE ALL YOU VEDEOS 😇👍 AND WORK
You are so sweet! It means a lot to me. Thank you. ❤️
Ohhh! I wish I knew this trick after my shelf was blow over and broke about 5 molds! Thanks for sharing!
Me too Kim! Thank you! 😊
It's so much better seeing mistakes and how to fix them rather than a sanitized video where everything goes perfectly. I seem to learn more from my mess ups
I learn much more from my mistakes. Haha. I'm glad to share them with you 😄
Muy buen trabajo Diane , felicidades!!!
Muchísimas gracias 🙂❤️
Toilet paper cost way too much to waste, use junk mail instead.
Yes. It's expensive. Where I live, there is no junk mail and no newspaper. And I like the standardization of my sculpture products. I know how they behave over time. I'm collecting toilet paper rolls to try. That'll give me the color that I like. Thanks for your comment ☺️
Great stuff
Hi. Thank you! 😊
Your technique with paper is really advanced
What a great comment. You made my day.🙂
What a great idea! The metal cottles!! Wood always warps and… And it stores nicely!
Yes! I'm sure I didn't invent it, but I've been using them for so long that I don't remember where the idea came from.
Something wrong with the volume 🤔 I wonder if regular candle wax might have worked better. Always try to learn a little something from any sort lived setback. 👍
Thanks for letting me know about the volume! Yeah, wax or Vaseline, or more layers of mineral oil. 😆
you shouldn't use water so close to the outlet
Hi! They're all GFI outlets that would turn off if they get drops in them. Like in kitchens. 🙂
Excelente video!! No soy practicante de este arte, aún así lo disfruté mucho.
Muchas gracias Flor ❤️❤️❤️
Very informative video, thank you very much! It is always really interesting to see the engineering behind works of art. Making beautiful things that last is an art in itself.
I love the engineering! It's one of my favorite things about making sculpture. Thank you for your commitment 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and documenting your process. I’m amazed at the strength of your sculptures! I love your flange process for piecing your sculptures together. I will be using your techniques to cast on a large head mask that is almost sculpted.
You're so welcome. I'm glad you're using the technique and can't wait to see how it works. Let me know and don't forget the mold releases! 10 coats of mold soap on the plaster and then a coat of thinned wax. 😃
Found your channel yesterday and tried my first test piece immediately. I can’t wait to explore this process fully. Thank you for this gift.
I'm so glad to hear this. I hope that it works for you. Let me know! ☺️
Buen trabajo Diane !!! 👍
Gracias! ❤️
I was thinking how I wish i had and atelier like yours, so much space and everything is organized! But you are correct, it was a long journey for you and it wasn't easy, and let me tell you that you can see that in every video how much effort your put on everything. Im happy for you and all the things you accomplished to be now sharing all of it with us! Take care
Oh thank you so much, Esperanza. I'm glad that I can share it with you. I remember when I was young, having a friend with a beautiful studio and it helped me visualize that I could have one myself. Maybe you can, too! ❤️
Your work is beautiful! Do you know of comparable materials to the ones you use that can be found in the United States?
Hi. Thank you! 😌 Newspaper is almost exactly the same weight as the craft paper that I'm using. If you can find tortilla paper, what they use to wrap the tortillas for sale, that should be the same weight. Other than that, PVA glue, a scalpel, threaded rod, USG casting plaster. Those should be easy to find. Plasticine, a harder one for sculptures, from an art store, and a softer one for mold beds and walls from a kids store? Mine is non toxic made for kids.
Let me know what else you need that's hard to find 🙂
I love your work very much. It brings happiness 👌😇👍
You are so sweet to say so. Thank you Harold 😌
Wow thank you so much for sharing this recipe ❤❤❤
You are so welcome! Thanks for the message 🙂
You are so painstaking and work so hard! It's amazing, and most importantly, the results are beautiful. I am in awe of your process your organization, your creativity, and how it all comes together!
You're so sweet Anne and you buoy me. I'm having the best time of my life! Thank you for staying in touch 🙂 and I hope all is well with you.
😊👍Marvelous
Thank you‼️

Hi Harold. Thank you so much! It helps me to hear this. 😃
❤❤❤❤ Ilove
Thank you Jacqueline! I appreciate it 😊
Hi Diane, do you have any issues with the craft paper not being archival or acid free? Or does the pva override the potential issues?
Hi Kim. I don't know how long the paper will last, but I have a few sculptures that are several years old. I have the first one that I made and it looks like I just made it. The only problem I've had so far is that one got wet and got moldy. That's why I'm so careful to keep them dry.
