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.
