Moving beyond the fundamentals, we will explore the nuances of head and facial studies, delving into the essential techniques required for constructing a mesmerizing sitting full figure. Throughout the class, I will guide you with detailed demonstrations for each step, empowering you to infuse your own style and artistic expression into the creation of a seated full figure. While previous experience in figurative sculpture is beneficial, we encourage all enthusiastic learners with a passion for handbuilding to apply.
