Two books in one!

This book is the combination of "Sculpture for Beginners" and "Scuplturing with Wax". The anatomy is dealt with very tastfully, mostly using skelital and muscular charts. One female torso is developed. I enjoyed it for its attention to detail in both the text and pictures. The extensive content spans these 18 chapters:1) Getting Acquainted with Clay 2) Make Some Simple Sculptures 3) Tools You Will Be Using 4) Make Some Figures 5) Decorating Your Home with the Objects You Make 6) Learning from Plaster Casts 7) Using the Armature for Support8) Making a Head in Clay9) Learning More About the Head 10) Learning the Anatomy of the Body 11) Making a Torso 12) Draping the Figure 13) Casting 14) Textures 15) Finishes 16) Some Larger Sculptures 17) Bas-Relief 18) Sculpturing with Wax
