How To Create An Artistic Face Casting - DVD

High realism sculptor, artist and teacher Ed McCormick, ALI, shows you how to create face casts using very young models. Face casting is the ultimate in memorializing the human form. Casts of faces make excellent mementos, too.   Taped in his Summit, NJ studio, and endorsed by the Association of Lifecasters International, you will join Ed as he creates face casts of two 9-year old twins, Jake and Jesse. He expertly schools you in the art of life casting by creating his artistic face casts, which include ears, the most delicate body part to cast without flaws.   Beginners to advanced artists and sculptors will find this DVD jammed packed with information providing the step-by-step process in an easy-to-learn method. Ed has taught workshops throughout the US for the past five years. Now you can benefit from this experienced teacher in the comfort of your home or studio.   Ed teaches you how to artistically pose a live model and then shows how to prepare the model for molding. He then demonstrates how to mix and apply a new body safe molding material, FiberGel. You will learn how to apply plaster bandages and to mix casting plaster to create the cast. Not leaving any detail for granted, Ed shows how to correctly demold to reveal the a beautiful face casts ready for finish.
