Lesson: Burns

You will need:

Gelatine/Gel fix- clear ; kryolan; block form
Gel  lyck- clear flesh; screenface ; come also in dark flesh, blood and scar, comes in a bottle
Or use Dr. Oetker gelatine->it’s okay to use for the assessment but not if you are on set
Supercolor/aquacolor
Brushes
Sponges
Powder- Illamasqua translucent powder
Glycerine
Vaseline
Could also use latex->remember to use barrier foam when/before using latex


Health and Safety

After heating up the gelatine test the temperature->test it on back of your hand before applying somewhere else->you don’t want to burn anyone!
You can add supercolor/aquacolor when it is melted
Can also add textures, glitter ,… in it->but when you add glitter and the gelatine got hard again don’t reheat it->glitter is metallic and therefore you can’t put it into the microwave!
You don’t need any protection under gelatine
->when using the gelatine block: cut off  a bit and put in into a bowl->microwave for about 20 sec; but you can do 10 sec first and then check and do more if needed
->when using the gelatine in the bottle: put into a bowl with water and microwave->set for 1min and check every 15 sec  until it becomes liquid again
->after applying cool down by using a cool hairdryer
->can color over the top with supercolor
->Glycerine: adds shine or sweat
->Vaseline: adds shine
->when applying make sure you don’t have any hard edges
->then pat it up and down while it is still tacky->creates a rough burn
->gelatine will always be slightly sticky
->you have to powder it first before apply anything else(like supercolor, blood, glycerine) otherwise it will get stuck onto your brushes
->can use pins to put it up slightly
->when applying the color use  a fine brush
->start with the darkest red first(bluey reds are good)
->use fingers as well to smooth it out; stipple it on
->no hard edges
->blend well!!
->make it look more translucent ; shouldn’t look like it is painted on
->use a lot of different colors; depending what kind of burn you are doingdo research about burns!
->at the end hold hand up and look into the mirror->you will see in the mirror if you missed something or if there are hard edges
->add Glycerine/Vaseline at last
->then you can add some blood or even puss as well
->chemical burns are smooth and shiny








-->after heating up the gelatine  I waited a bit to let it cool down for a bit( you don't want to burn your model!) and then applied the liquid gelatine with a palette knife
-->you have to work quickly otherwise you will pick it up again, the liquid gelatine gets sticky quickly
-->make sure to have smooth edges, blend in well
-->dry with blow dryer and powder it afterwards
-->you can use a hair pin and pick up some bits if you want to
-->I used two different red colors from the Kryolan super colour palette and coloured the burn in, here again make sure to blend well and avoid hard edges
-->you could also use some brown and yellow depending how you want your burn to look like
-->then apply some of the blood
-->to give it shine apply Glycerin
