Sculpting Masterclass – Strong Foundation – Amelia Rowcroft

Amelia Rowcroft shares her method for creating a clay likeness from life or a photographic sitting with a model. The course will take you through the whole process of sculpting a portrait to a very high finish, with an emphasis on getting the anatomical structure correct at the beginning. This is key to achieving a likeness. Amelia will show you how to train your eye to see objectively, so you can learn to trust your own judgement.

• Demonstration videos, downloadable notes and a full set of reference.
• You will begin by understanding how to see your model’s bone structure and blocking this out in clay.
• You will then build onto this skull-like form the big shapes of the face.
• Once you have the whole face blocked out, you can begin looking for smaller shapes, before adding final detail and completing your portrait to a high level of finish.
