Brown Bag Sculpting Class

since the lifedrawing classes in work came to an end we have started a new class, sculpture. we have been working with sculptor Una Kavanagh.

week one, just working with paper making paper models, this was my favourite out of 3 i did, a cuttlefish, took about 10-15mins to make

first class working with clay, two 25 min sculpts working from a life model

this week, a single 50 min pose and sculpt, i chose to focus on the torso and used some regular plasticine as i personally prefer it over water based clay.
