Synopsis

Master sculpture with practical steps for shaping figures, reliefs, and groups.

Modelling, Vol. 2 is a thorough guide for teachers and students who want to improve their modeling skills. It covers how to convey movement, emotion, and character in sculpture, from initial sketches to refined forms. The book mixes theory with hands-on techniques, showing how to study a subject, plan a composition, and translate ideas into three-dimensional work.

  • Learn to read posture, gesture, and mass so the whole body expresses the intended mood.
  • Practice planning, proportioning, and refining figures and groups, from outlines to finished surfaces.
  • Work with materials and tools, including wax, moulds, plaster, and methods for creating terracotta reproductions.
  • Understand how to finish and polish forms, with tips on lighting, projections, and lettering in relief.
Ideal for readers who want clear, step‑by‑step guidance on sculpture from idea to final piece, whether working alone or as part of a class.
