It is this kind of special skills that sets people like Mark Newman and most of the sculptor apart from ordinary people like me. I am amazed at how the sculptor's hands work on soft clay and shape it, turn it into a person. We can just dream of doing something like this, while people like Mr Newman does with so ease. Of course, Mr Newman must have dedicated years of hard-work in learning this art. I really admire it. Loved the video.
It's pleasure to watch your video.what flow of your work, Great.your work gives confidence to start sculpting.your work gives calmness .Thanks for such a beautiful video.
It's strange but, I can actually feel the softness of the clay as your add and remove it. It's strange because I've never done Sculpting before and it's something I wanted to try for years. Any UK course recommendations could have a go? Great video btw! definitely subscribing!
Dear Mr Drey, Thanks for the heartfelt comment! I'm glad we can convey part of the experience. I can't think of a specific course out of the top of my head in the UK-- however! I do have a fantastic recommendation ( it's how lots of us started ). It's a book made by Rodin's teacher ( who might know a thing or two about scupting ;) ). Look for Edouard Lanteri's "Modelling and Sculpting the Human Figure (Dover Art Instruction)." It's very affordable and it's a great book to start with a solid foundation :)
Don't discount yourself because of your age. You're the same age I was when I started seriously pursuing illustration and painting, and it's my career now. It's never too early or too late to pick up an art form :)
Hey Claire, I'm glad you liked it. It was quite the treat to see this live. I don't have an exact number but I'd venture and say probably about an hour or two ( Mark's pretty fast ).
This is very impressive !! I really enjoyed the video. Could you please give me the name of the spinning stand that holds the sculpture, please ? Thank you ^^
Hey Kellucydar, We use stands of our own design. They have some pretty nifty features and more importantly they're portable ( easy to assemble / dis-assemble ): www.anatomytools.com/sculpting-stands-c36.php
I made a face with WED clay and I planing to put on the wood and hanging to the wall. Somebody told me that sculpture will be fall and broke. Is that true? Is so, what can I do? Is there any product to seal the clay and be protected for cracks?
How long did the real demo last? This time lapse i dont know how to calculate to get the amount of real time used. Very good document. Save this material. Thanks for sharing.
I wish my school teachers had never punished me for drawing in class instead they should of suggested some art classes .. I could of been creating some beautiful pieces right now. #Artlifesmatter
Hi Juan, Well, it all depends what scale you wish to work with and what medium you're more comfortable with. If you'll do work with small things a harder grade clay is recommended. Softer grade for bigger sizes. There's also the options of using wax-based, oil-based or water based. Each with their own benefits and considerations. However, if I had to recommend a friendly one to begin with, I'd say Roma Plastilina No. 2 - It's oil based ( which means you don't need to worry about it drying ), you can make casts with it, you can even use a heat-gun or canned air to heat it or freeze it respectively, to make it harder or softer. TLDR: Try Roma Plastilina No 2, it's what we use for beginner and advanced, very versatile clay :)
