DESCRIPTION

This in-depth 9th annual workshop includes a total of two studio days (14 hours) of sculpting a 1/3 life-size full figure from the life female model and a 1/2 life size female portrait also from life.
Students will work in plasticine (oil based) clay with armatures.
Classical techniques and methodologies of calculating measurements, proportion and form development of the figure and portrait will be the focus of this course.
I’ll be sharing a variety of personal sculpting techniques I’ve developed over my 30+ years of experience. These insights will help you "see more" and save time in your own practice.
Students will have the option to cast their completed two works in bronze for an additional fee.
