Stephen primed Geometric’s
1/4 scale Mummy bust with Testors gull gray and applied a base coat of Polly Scale
elf flesh. Facial hollows received dark brown pigment powder followed by washes
of Golden raw umber hue and red oxide acrylic colors. Dry-brushing with Horizon
flesh tone No. 2 completed the painting. Stephen says, “I chose this bust
because, for me, the most frightening moment is when the Mummy is in his
sarcophagus and you see the tiny reflections of light as he opens his eyes. It
scared the pants off me as a kid!”
