WEEKEND PORTRAIT SCULPTURE

LEARN TO SCULPT THE PORTRAIT OVER SIX SATURDAYS

Working from the model in a sustained pose over 10 weeks, we set up the model in the same way as for drawing and painting, and the initial sense of the pose is established by standing back and comparing what one is making with what one is seeing – to scale – and making adjustments accordingly. We then work using calipers for measurements, and also apply matchsticks to physically mark fundamental points of reference that one can then trust.

The emphasis is on the silhouette as created by the contour or outline of the portrait and, to bring this out, the model is set against a white background for ultimate contrast
Sessions are purchased in multiples of five or ten. Any lesser amount thereafter will be at the one week rate.
