Create that Old Styled, Cracked Plaster Effect with Some Modern Glam

I was inspired by a show, that had antiques that were old plaster statues, with cracks. That old matte finish, dusty look that easily tells the age of the the art piece.  In this lesson, I’m taking this idea and glamming it up, creating an old styled, cracked plaster effect and then using some metallic glaze to shine it up.
