Visual Sculpture Course: 262 photos to learn how to model a female bust in the round in clay

This manual, full of explanatory photos, will guide you step by step in creating a sculptural clay bust that faithfully reproduces the anatomical forms of your model.
As we all know, in the fine arts, the creation of sculptural, as well as pictorial, portraits represents an arduous undertaking, achievable only after years of dedication and practice.
To perfectly coordinate sight, mind and hand movement, resulting in realistic sculptural works, requires a long path of learning and practice.
Fundamental skills are the ability to grasp and evaluate the correct proportions of anatomical forms and the mastery of sculptural techniques to reproduce them in the chosen material.
The instructions in this manual will help you overcome initial difficulties in psychomotor and visual coordination, enabling you to achieve a good level of resemblance to the portrayed subject within a reasonable time.
In addition to sculpting technique, the manual will also teach you how to properly fire the clay work in the kiln, avoiding splits during drying and firing.
