Stampeding Horses - Busy Work and Horses

Busy work at the beginning of the day, and then back onto the small horses. Spent the night adjusting legs and movement of the other 7 horses.. I know I'll have to make for of those.

Boxing and Sending Lemons

Got an order for all my DVDs. I'm shown putting together that order and preparing to mail it out. I then explain how to order my Instructional Videos on DVD as well as Digital versions or the same videos

Stampeding Horses - Fleshing In the First Horse in Wax and then Clay

I started today on the first of the horses, already partially in wax, and got to a point where i decided to use clay on top of the wax. Just easier to see detail in the light colored clay. Wax is a great medium to work in.. It's very temperamental to work with though. Clay is softer but easier to form.

Stampeding Horses Adding The First Wax To The Armatures

I got all seven of the horse armatures ready to have wax applied to them. Wax is like clay.. just very dark, so it makes seeing detail hard.. and the dang stuff is sticky if to warm.

Stampeding Horses - Starting the Wire Armatures

Today I'm starting the wire armatures for 7 horses. I'll make the armatures out of Bailing Wire. Google "Bailing Wire" to order you some. Every sculptor needs this in their studio.

Stampeding Horses -The Start of a New Sculpture

Had an idea for a new piece. I herd of Stampeding Horses coming down out of the air and touching the ground... It's pushing the envelope time.. Today I start part of the supporting armature.
