As I would like to create a final piece relating to the unique textures of skin, I decided to create a realistic substitute. I tried different techniques such as using a plastic wallet to trap skin coloured acrylic paint inside and drying with a heat gun to apply texture as the plastic wrinkles when under high temperatures. After realising that it was not successful as it didn't look realistic, I decided to apply pva glue to my palms to create a direct imprint of real skin. When it dried, I realised that this technique was successful as it looked like real skin. I also noticed that the substitutes were translucent, which gave me some ideas for mounting it like a window as my final piece.
