HOW TO SCULPT A PORTRAIT!

Hi Guys, for those of you that follow me over on instagram, you will know I've been planning to start teaching sculpture for a long time, with you guys asking for some time now! I've finally got round to it and here is the first video!
This is my new mini series where I am going to aim to post a thread of videos keeping them short and snappy which by the end you will have the basics and progress to some more advanced techniques on how to sculpt a portrait!
I Hope you enjoy the video and stick around for the series!

This one is really helping me 😊 I watched my sculpture's head slowly lean to the side until he looked as if he were leaning awkwardly. So i said he as sleeping....or drunk...or both..

Glad it’s helping, part 2 coming soon!!

I've recently found my first love, my passion for art creating and drawing again after years of being apart and now I am especially interested in 3d model pieces of clay, wood work but also wanting to learn how to do the molding process for copies of the prime piece. There shouldn't be gatekeeping in art, the blessings of art are for everyone from the Heavenly Father.There's very few that are knowledgeable/skilled that will also guide aspiring artists and sculpting enthusiasts. Your experience along with willingness to help and provide answers is invaluable inspiring creativity in me and countless more so I appreciate it and wanted to thank you.

You are so underrated 😢,, I love your art style 😊

[@user-dz8fz6vj5e]

I picked 2 different ones, plastaline, soft and medium. Ording small package of both to try. So excited ❤❤❤

Muchas gracias por ver cómo se crea una Obra de Arte 🎉🎉🎉 Desde 🇵🇪

[@user-dz8fz6vj5e]

I always make my chin on my sculpture stick out too much but I think I see now why. 😊 practice, practice ❤ I have found sculpting is a lot different than drawing portraits. I like drawing, but love sculpting ❤

I just found your Channel.Great video.The only critique I can think of is the loudness of music.I would like to listen just to your voice.😊

[@gigicooper8731]

You are the Master! Very well done & well produced!

[@cakeangeluk3104]

Luv it!!!🤗🥰thank you for sharing 😘

[@gingerail4605]

I was always fond of beautiful sculpture such as "Hercules the archer" (my favorite) and "lady of auxerre". I found your channel today and subscribed with excitment! Want to work creating sculptures myself!!

[@rudisentosa6765]

Awesome…amazing artwork ❤🎉🎉🎉

[@dmitryivanoff2799]

Thank you for this excellent video. Its amazing how the first stage is done by you without sny tools. I had to switch off the sound because music ruins it.

[@andymyers2759]

Hi Steve, that's great thanks, I've done a few small sculptures but this is very clear and simple and honest tips that I'm going to try out in the next week or so - I've ordered the aluminium core and clay :) Cheers, Andy

@@stevewinterburnsculptor thank you ♥ I practice a little every morning before work and after. Relaxing . I make mistakes, but I am learning ♥

New subscriber This is wonderful. You are now my mentor👍🏼

@@markdmaker3173 thanks for subscribing I hope you learn plenty!🙏🏼💙

[@annakovacs3849]

This is greatly appreciated 🙏. A quick question though, for these sorts of portraits, are you able to put other material (eg foam) to bulk out the head so that you can minimise the amount of plasteline/clay you use? If not, is there a reason? Thanks again!

[@granmabern5283]

Hello, from Quebec! Can you please put a link for the wax you use? Also, I hope you have a video how to make a mold once the sculpture is done. Also, can you re-use the wax for other work? Thankyou!

That’s not a studio, it’s a temple. 👍

[@user-dz8fz6vj5e]

One more question. Can I build my own warming box ? Thank you..😊

[@cornilinda]

Beautiful. I wonder if you make any Catholic religious sculpture? Jesus on the cross or Mother Mary must be out of this world if it is crafted by you.

[@stevewinterburnsculptor]

Not something I’ve got round to doing yet, very powerful subjects!

[@user-dz8fz6vj5e]

❤ I should have asked my question here, so if you see it again , ignore. Can you recommend a plastalin for me? I am shopping online and worry I will pick the wrong one.

[@otei1780]

Monster clay hard , similar to Herbin plastiline #70 he is using or chavant NSP , all are oil based clay , hard is the way to go since you can melt them down and achieve great details once cooled

[@user-dz8fz6vj5e]

@@otei1780 thank you ♥ I have been practicing with Crayola air dry clay. That I have to slowly and carefully dry. A bit tricky . I do love it . I've ordered the plastaline several days ago , should be arriving soon. Vert excited for more lessons

[@user-dz8fz6vj5e]

@@otei1780 it should be arriving any day. Steve Winterburn recommended a few in one of his lessons! Hope you are enjoying his lessons, too !

You have a online shop?

Back ground music is terrible ! Spoils the whole video, it's not necessary and VERY annoying trying to listen to the instructions and guidance.
