The Portrait Sculpture Clay Modeling Course begins with a lecture on, and then the creation of a generic skull. Bony landmarks
are fully observed and recreated and the geometric relationships between
them highlighted. This technical class has been a great service to many
portrait painters as well as sculptors. It enhances the knowledge of the
placement of information necessary for the creation of any good portrait,
as well as teaching methods used "to see" more clearly. The
generic skull is then turned into the skull of the model, and then clay
modeling techniques are taught to create the portrait. For those students
wishing to be prepared for this class beforehand we highly recommend purchasing
Martine Vaugel's video,"Sculpting the Portrait in Clay". |
