Excellent step-by-step guide for sculpting in plaster, demonstrated by the artist Chaim Gross.
Translated extract from the book
Sculpture in Progress offers a unique opportunity to enter the studio of a noted sculptor and learn by looking over his shoulder as he works.
Chaim Gross, an artist-teacher who counts Leonard Baskin and Louise Nevelson among his many students, demonstrates here the technique of sculpture in plaster. This medium will interest both beginners and experienced sculptors: unlike stone and wood, it permits the sculptor to rectify errors and to change his mind; and it offers a remarkable freedom of composition without requiring costly materials and equipment or complex technical instruction.
