Clay Sculpture of Ellen DeGeneres - Timelapse

Alongside teaching sculpture through sculptingmasterclass.com, I work on commissions from my studion in Lewes, East Sussex.
In this video you can watch a time-lapse of me using the technique for capturing a likeness that I teach in Strong Foundations - available to buy at www.sculptingmasterclass.com (there's two free lessons!)
This portrait of Ellen DeGeneres was a commission for a wax figure.

About Amelia Rowcroft and the online course 'Strong Foundations' ...
Amelia Rowcroft has been working professionally as a figurative sculptor for 20 years. She creates fine art portraits and figurative sculptures. She has also worked commercially within the film industry and for the world’s leading wax figure museums. She studied at Central St Martins, Wimbledon School of Art and the Florence Academy.
Amelia is passionate about teaching the classical techniques of portrait sculpture.
When working as a freelance sculptor she met many fellow artists who were confident in their skills to sculpt most things, but felt that they had never been taught the core techniques of attaining a likeness of a person’s face.
She knows that finding an art school that teaches these traditional skills can be difficult and costly, and that people often do not have the time and/ or money to attend regular classes or go on residential courses.
She created Sculpting Masterclass as an alternative way of training your eye and learning how to sculpt a portrait at home, at your own pace and in a way that fits around your schedule.
She has tried to make the course as close as possible to the experience of sculpting alongside her in her studio, passing on all the techniques and tips she has picked up over the years.
