Kellie Pereira – Cardinal Portrait Bas Relief Sculpture Process – Instructional Video

relief No Comments »

Hello everyone!

Steve and I had taken a poll on Instagram in order to see if you all were interested in clay sculpture related videos. Producing a clay maquette is often (but not always) step one for starting any stone sculpture. The majority of people thought that this would be relevant information… so here you go!

This is a video showing the process of creating a low relief of a Northern Cardinal bird.

After producing a clay model, mold and a final cast in plaster, one could easily use it as a reference for a stone sculpture, or set up a pointing machine for exact translation into stone.

This is not a commercial plug, but you can view the final plaster casts we create here: https://www.greenpointstone.com/relief-sculpture. As you can see, every minute mark shows up in white plaster, so if that is your final material, it is helpful to use a lighter-tonality clay so you can perceive shadow contrast more clearly.

We will be creating more long-form tutorials like this for our Patreon subscribers, so if this content interests you, please look into joining our community here: https://www.patreon.com/Sculpting_Stone.

Thanks for watching!

The amount of work and attention to detail that making a Cuban chain like this is absurd, as you’ll see on the video.

Here are the main steps to making the chain:

00:00 Mixing gold with other metals to make 14K gold.
00:22 Melting gold with torch and pouring into ingot mold to make bar.
01:17 Scanning bar with XRF Analyzer to show gold alloy details.
01:31 Stretching gold bar to form wire (includes annealing).
02:45 Forming and cutting the links for the chain.
04:09 Connecting and soldering links.
05:30 Twisting chain to align links.
07:18 Filing the links to give chain the characteristic flat look.
09:05 Polishing chain.
10:01 Attaching and welding last link of Cuban chain.
11:06 Final chain weigh in (approximately 1000 grams of 14K gold).
12:07 Finished chain!
