Philippe Faraut Figure Sculpting Pdf 12
Roel Ashton
The book covers every part of the body in detail except for the brief coverage on sculpting the head. But that's because there are two separate books dedicated to just the head, namely Mastering Portraiture Advanced Analyses of the Face Sculpted in Clay and Portrait Sculpting: Anatomy & Expressions in Clay. These three books make a complete set for human figure sculpting.
Philippe has created numerous original works ranging from six-inch porcelain figurines to monuments in both stone and bronze. He has exhibited his sculptures in various galleries and national competitions including several of the National Sculpture Society's Annual Exhibitions shown in New York City and Brookgreen Gardens, South Carolina, as well as the American Portrait Society's Annual Exhibit in New York City and the Art Renewal Center's Annual Competition.
During the past twenty years, Philippe has traveled throughout the US and abroad to teach sculptors and aspiring sculptors how to render portraits and figures in clay at private studios and institutions including the Grand Central Academy in New York, Ringling School of Art in Florida and Pixar in California. In addition, he has studied forensic facial reconstruction and anaplastology and lectures at universities and medical conventions in the US and Europe on expressions and the aging process of the face.
Together with his wife Charisse, the couple has made Philippe's techniques available to students and instructors in the form of a book series and numerous videos. Between projects, Philippe conducts seminars on portraiture and figure sculpting at his Honeoye, New York studio.
