Stephen Perkins Workshop- Day 2

Another great day jam packed with a ton of information.  After going over Weight Distribution and how it affects Gesture in a figure,  Stephen showed us how he approaches sculpting a Life size foot.  He spoke about a sequence of hierarchy and urged us to work from simple to complex forms.

 

Stephen Perkins Workshop- Day 1

The studio was full of  excitement as we started a new week with Stephen Perkins. Many of us are still absorbing all of the information that was given to us last time Stephen was here.  All of the students arrived early and ready to pick up right where we left off.
