How do I make a homemade mold of a Venetian mask?

Community Answer

Use an inflated balloon as the mold and apply the paper mache on half of it. Cut out the eye and mouth holes accordingly.

Question

After painting a clay mask with acrylic paints, should I use a finishing/holding spray?

Community Answer

You could possibly use a matte or gloss varnish spray. This would help protect the paint but could alter the colors slightly.

Question

Is there any way to smooth out the papier mache if I don't have gesso? Could I sand it or something?

Community Answer

Yes, but you should consider making the mask thicker, so after sanding it gently it doesn't become flimsy.
