[@KidslearningfunbyTanisha]

You are a great teacher sir. Iam in 4th grade watched all of this sculpting technic..thanx for sharing this for New generation..🤗

[@lacuisinedemamiemartine]

Un grand Merci de France pour vos vidéos.

Rest in peace sir, you were truly a gift to our people.

Thank you so much for saying this. It made me cry, because it is true. I was his main student (Vicky Oldham) and I'll be back after the holidays with some new lessons. I'm not nearly the natural talent he was, but I learned to sculpt enough to do it professionally. There are so many questions that come in all the time and I do have the answers to most because I worked with Chuck for decades (since I was 19, and I'm now 68. He passed away from an incurable lung illness in 2014). Thanks again for your heartfelt comment.

Thank you for continuing this channel! I am sure he is proud. I saw your work - it's amazing too! God bless you.@@LearnSculpture

[@michellecantu1796]

These videos helped me so much for my school project

[@LearnSculpture]

Glad to know that. I'll be trying to show a little tip or two every time I do the live stream also. Today I'll be showing how you can brush your oil-based clay to smooth out detail.

Amazing!!!! Perfectly well explained!!!! Thank you!!!!

[@eirameirascookies7663]

hi just wanted to let you know that i used your videos to sculpt an indian elephant out of modelling chocolate to be put on a cake as a topper ( i make cakes) . your tutorial was amazing... i was able to follow your instructions and i have to say...i'm happy with the way it turned out. i wanted you to know

[@TheBroodingTom]

I just visited your website and love your work!! I also read what you said about Polymer Clay... I got the vibe from what you wrote that polymer clay is not ideal for larger work... I have been trying to change how people view polymer clay for the past 3 years. I do larger work then usual (up to 4 lbs in size so far, including armature) Very glad to find your channel, and to meet another clay artist!!

Hola muy lindo lo ke enseñas , muchas gracias.

[@cinthyabrilla2912]

You are amazing!!!!! I lovee so much your lessons, thank you!!!!

[@LearnSculpture]

Just use vaseline or mineral oil in moderation and try to remove any excess when you're done because it will tend to change the consistency of the clay in the areas where you use it, or it can soften the clay and make it gummy or pasty... at least this is what happens with many clays I have used.

[@elisabethmbclancy975]

I was wondering how do you cure this type clay to harden it? Is it an air dry type clay or is it bake?

[@justinewing5740]

you're a very good teacher I wish to learn more from you...you've got new subscriber

[@Masterpaintingnowlearn2draw]

Great sculpting

[@marceloros7207]

Great, great, great job!!!!

[@LearnSculpture]

Thank you. Chuck very tragically passed away in 2014 and I was his sculpting partner who will continue the lessons.

[@rubykiss555]

I use vaseline or baby oil as a smoother and it is wonderful. :D Thank you for the video!

[@LearnSculpture]

Thanks for your idea. The modeling clay used in the demo is not water based... it is oil based, so you can't smooth it with water. Also, for this small size "maquette," no armature is needed.

[@sandradavis847]

I learn a lot today. Thank you.

[@helenannleeshung9028]

You are a Fabulous teacher !👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤👌🏽 I learnt so much from you. I'm a begginer and would like to know what kind of clay you use

[@Arasu3d]

very good viedos for me, May i know which clay are you use it in this sculpt,pl reply me.And this clay is very smooth and flexible

[@LearnSculpture]

I do have a workbook on my website with patterns to follow. You can use calipers or a proportional divider tool to get the proportions right... the workbook shows you how. Go to learnsculpture(dot)org to see it.

[@descry12]

Great instruction. I do work in polymers, instruction translates to it well. Thanks for sharing.

[@susanapascualarce2797]

It is great!!!

[@Kleemakes]

What kind of clay do u use? I see that it's very dense but at the same time easy to smooth

[@33uptempo]

Really great videos. I used to sculpture in ceramics, mostly figures, and got tired of the legs breaking so much (without an armature). So now I'm doing bas relief, in oil clay, and finding some challenges with depth I'm trying to figure out. Do you have any videos about bas relief?

[@SanjayMishra-sz1ni]

Thank you so much for this awesome helpful uploads, i m a owner of small gift shop so may I know which clay would be long lasting with good quality ?(INDIA)

[@luisatuca1368]

where can we buy Das clay. I have some clay but I don"t have the instrument the use in making the animals. Do I need to use a water when making the animals as what the other women was doing before. I'm very much interested just to pass the time as my hobby.
