Sidney Nolan
Inland Australia 1950
Sidney Nolan used Oil on Hardwood for this painting, oil because it his medium of choice for paintings (and it suits the bold colours he is known for), and hardwood because it was a during a period of travel across australia that he painted the picture (and canvas was difficult to transport). The process was to sketch the outline of the subject and then complete the detail with oils, building a thickness on the hardboard.


Patricia Piccinni
The Young Family (2002 - 2003)
I could not find accurate descriptions of exactly how she created these works, therefore I describe how/what I believe it to be made of.
The materials used in this artwork appear to be made of rubber, resin and wax to give it a realistic human-like appearance. The process of making these sculptures would entail casting human and animal body parts (most likely pigs in the case of this artwork), and using these moulds to then sculpt a combine of the two.
