I’ve been creating drywall art sculptures of ocean scenes and 3D waves on the walls of homes, restaurants and doctors offices here in Brevard County, Florida for several years now. But, I had an idea of being able to take these drywall art sculptures from just walls and turn them into a framed, hand painted fine art sculpture that can be custom made and shipped to order anywhere in the US or around the world. These framed wall sculpture paintings can be hung on any wall without the sculpture artist having to be on site to create a custom wall sculpture.

The drywall art sculpture and painting process

Here’s a few photos of the drywall art sculpture as it goes through it’s transformation from just a sculpture to a framed and ready to hang piece of unique art.

Shark sculpture ready to be primed

The entire shark sculpture was primed with a spray can of Kilz and the ocean blue water background painted to a point where I can blend it more with the shary once the shark is painted

For the wet water effect on the shark sculpture, I clear coated it with 5 coats of gloss polycrylic sealer
