This Virgin Mary statue was a project for the whole shop.. We took a mannequin and strapped her arms in the right position. We then draped her, painted a white glue and water mixture to stiffen the muslin. We did a few coats of the glue/water mixture. Then painted her white. Then she was "marbled" and shaded further by another artisan.
