Staying Ahead Part 2

I just wanted to do a quick post on this portrait head. I've been busy on several fronts so some projects like this commissioned clay portrait are taking more time but it does give me an opportunity to be a little more thorough. I'm still working out the hair and still evaluating the facial forms at this point of the process. It still a ways to go but I feel it's getting closer.
I'll be back soon. Have a great week.
Cheers.

Skin Texture for Hyper/Photo Realistic Figure Sculpture

This is the early stages of skin texture being applied to the figure. The texture process as I've described in earlier posts is multistaged with layer upon layer of different sometimes extremely subtle tooling applied to the surface. I've found this approach best because it gives depth to the skin itself. It's been an up and down process so far but I feel I'm closer to completing the clay model than at any other time.
In the meantime, the studio continues to be busy with some major projects coming up in the Fall as well. I'll announce that in September.
I wish all my visitors,a great weekend. Cheers.

Portraits,Skulls and Figures

Sculpture Copyright Gino Cavecchioli 2013 Photo credit Art Di Lella 2013

Today's post focuses on some of the artists that I have worked with over the past few months.

The first picture is a portrait of Lincoln Alexander by the sculptor Gino Cavecchioli. Lincoln Alexander was a prominent politician from Hamilton Ontario who served in the federal cabinet as minister of labour in the Joe Clark government back in 1979.
