"Designed for beginners, Relief Carving Wood Spirits is carefully illustrated and explains every element of the carving process." Chip Chats Magazine
From transferring the carving pattern to preparing the wood and evaluating the various levels of depth, every cut of the carving process is carefully illustrated and explained in this beginner's guide. Carvers will learn which tools are best for which cuts and why; how to create realistic eyes, noses, and other facial features; and how to add texture to their projects. Ten additional projects await once the first whimsical tree spirit is completed, each of which includes three styles of patterns: an outline for cutting the basic shape, a depth pattern indicating the levels of relief, and a shaded pattern indicating texture and shadow.

Tous les livres de Lora S. Irish sont bons,
This review is from: Relief Carving Wood Spirits: A Step-By-Step Guide for Releasing Faces in Wood (Paperback)
Si vous êtes un sculpteur amateur et que vous ne connaissez pas Lora S. Irish, procurez-vous un des ses livres. Vous ne serez pas déçu. Je n'ai jamais suivi de cours de sculpture et j'ai déjà 2 oeuvres à mon actif. Les explications sont limpides, les photos sont claires. Si vous avez de la volonté et de la patience, vous arrivez à reproduire tous les projets dans ses livres. Dans Wood Spirit, elle montre des exemples de sculptures, elle suggère des outils que vous pourriez utiliser avec profit pour compléter les projets, elle parle des sortes de bois, donne des conseils pour aiguiser vos outils et offre plus de 100 photos pour vous aider à compléter étape par étape la figure qui se trouve sur la couverture de l'ouvrage. Amusez-vous!
