Burns

In great expectations Miss Havisham sets herself on fire, therefore in lesson we learnt how to create a burn on skin using prosthetics. To do this I used:

-Gelatine (can even use cooking gelatine)

-Palette Knife

-Supra Colours

-Illamasqua Powder

-Small Brush

-Glycerine

-Pus (optional)

1.       Firstly you need to heat the gelatine, you can do this by placing it in the microwave testing it every 10 seconds

2.       Once it is melted, making sure that it’s not too hot, apply to the skin using a palette knife. Making sure to blend out the edges to make it as realistic as possible.

3.       The start patting the gelatine with the palette knife to give appearance that the skin is coming away.

4.       Dry with the hair dryer, making sure it’s on the cool setting

5.       Powder the area using Illamasqua powder

6.       Add colours using supra palette, using darker colours to create depth to the burn

You can also add pus and fake blood.
