@byantonlangreiter Artwork 19/30 - ‘Cloud 9’ This is the first artwork of the white chapter and also the one I’ve been most excited to make. Skiing is easily the sport people have asked me for the most, so I really wanted to do it justice. I spent ages looking through ski photos and drawing up designs, but nothing felt special enough. Then I found a photo of someone skiing moguls and I knew that was the one. I thought it would be cool to actually build the moguls out of long pile wool so they’d rise off the canvas like a real slope, I had to carve the long wool down bit by bit until the bumps faded around the skier without swallowing him. It took a while to get the transition looking natural. Under the right lighting the texture on this one looks unreal, it casts actual shadows across the piece. Definitely one of my favourites so far. Five more snow artworks coming in this chapter. If you like this piece, the artworks from this series will be released as a drop at the end of the collection.

Overview

The creator documents the process of creating his 19th artwork in a 30-part series. He explains his initial creative struggle, the inspiration he found in a photo of a mogul skier, and the technical challenge of combining long-pile and short-pile wool to create a 3D effect. He demonstrates how he sculpted the wool to solve the problem and finally reveals the finished piece, "Cloud nine."

Transcript

Is it possible to make a skier only using wool where the texture comes off the canvas? This is my Players collection where I create 30 artworks featuring 30 different sports and today is episode 19. I've been wanting to do skiing for a while now and I wanted to make this piece really unique. I studied different ski photos for weeks and drew design after design, but I wasn't in love with any of them. Then I found a photo that changed it all. A guy skiing moguls with those big bumps down the mountain. And that gave me the idea tier create the Moguls using long pile three d good. But this gave me a problem. I've never had them. I always use short wool for my people no they remain sharp and defined. Since he was surrounded by long wool, I gradually shaved the Moguls around him no he still pops without being lost in the wall. So here it is. I'll work 19 out of 30, cloud nine. This is the first of six snow artworks. Follow along to see what's next.
