Feb-May, 2008 It was our subject for sculpture lessons- characteristic character.
During one of our last sculpture lessons in whole school year, I've made sketches, then I start to sculpture it in wax. It took me about two weeks to make it. Then, with help of my sculpture teacher, who's my tutor I've took it to foundry, where they've made it in bronze. It wasn't end of my work with, because I had to clean it, polish up and my tutor helped me with cutting of unneeded metal parts, which were left after casting. Then my professor told me how to patinate it. But with this helped me my Dear Bobson (My teacher had lessons during that time xD). Also he's taken those photos.
I haven't been doing it for a long time because my classmates who had sculpture annex had to be first.
It's my first time when I've made something alike and I'm quite satisfacted. For sure I'm going to make more in this technique in the furure.
There was problem with lips, because after casting there was large bubble of metal in them, and we had to re-sculpture them from nothing.
Lost Wax Method
Bronze, patina, about 24cm of high.
