Description
Figure Sculpture in Wax and Plaster provides a comprehensive guide to creating human figures using two versatile mediums: wax and plaster. This detailed text covers the basics of modeling, from analyzing the human form to working with materials and tools. The author, Richard McDermott Miller, presents step-by-step instructions on how to work with wax, including sketching small figures, modeling on an armature, and hollow wax modeling. He also explores working with plaster, covering topics such as mixing and molding techniques. The book emphasizes the practical aspects of sculpture, focusing on the artist's working problems rather than theoretical concepts. With its generous illustrations and detailed explanations, Figure Sculpture in Wax and Plaster is a valuable resource for both beginners and experienced artists looking to develop their sculptural skills.
