I have looked high and low for useful information and techniques related to my field of Sculpture in the Entertainment Industry. So I was thrilled when I came across John Brown's Gnomon Workshop Sculpture series. He provides clear, practical and efficient lessons learned from his many years of experience. John teaches a process from scratch that will benefit everyone from novice to professional and will be helpful to an artist even beyond sculpture. Excellent!

Sculpting the maquette (small model) develops not only good technique, but also provides the artist with an understanding of the workflow of a sculpture, ensuring quality and efficiency. Beginning with a clean armature, this lecture takes the student through the entire process of realizing a finished piece. Its rudimentary approach to advanced techniques ensures professional results from sculptors of all calibers. Complete with narrative theory and practical application, it offers an in depth look at the As, Bs & Cs of the preliminary, intermediary & post sculpture process.
