I AM MODELING A BEAR ๐ป
Hello dear friends,
I have a new job! A bronze sculpture of a bear ๐
I've never modeled a bear before and I'm happy to have a new challenge, especially because the bear has a difficult anatomy in different parts of the body, and if I don't do it right it will look like a sack.... so I have to work hardly ๐
To make a bronze you have to have the sculpture in wax, and to have it in wax first it will be in plaster.... but instead of creating the sculpture directly in plaster it is easier to model it first in clay.
This is the most common way to proceed!
First we need a metal frame that is fixed on two woods glued together with the grain direction positioned in differently ways (so that the wood cannot warp)
STO MODELLANDO UN ORSO ๐ป
Ciao cari amici,
ho un nuovo incarico! Quello di un orso in bronzo ๐
Non ho mai modellato un orso e sono contenta di avere una nuova sfida, soprattutto perchรฉ l' orso ha un' anatomia poco visibile in diverse parti del corpo, e se non lo farรณ bene assomiglerรก ad un sacco.... perciรณ mi devo impegnare il doppio ๐
Per fare un bronzo bisogna avere la scultura in cera, e per averla in cera prima meglio farla in gesso.... ma invece di creare direttamente la scultura in gesso รฉ piรบ facile modellarla prima in argilla.
Questo รฉ il modo piรบ comune di procedere!
Come prima cosa ci serve una struttura di metallo che viene fissata su due legni incollati insieme con direzione di venatura posizionata in modo diverso (cosicchรฉ il legno non possa deformarsi)
Then we twist some wire and can add a few little ieces of wood to support the clay.
Poi attorcigliamo del filo e possiamo aggiungere qualche legnetto per sostenere l' argilla.
And slowly it takes shape ๐
E pian piano prenede forma ๐
I hope you like it so far and I will keep you updated on the progress I will make.... Have a great start to the week and thanks for following me ๐
Spero che vi piaccia finora e vi terrรณ aggiornati sul progresso che farรณ.... Buon inizio settimana e grazie per seguirmi ๐
Complimenti per la spiegazione e per il tuo lavoro
Grazie a te er esser passato ๐
All that is missing that you get a real bear to model for you - you just have to feed it.
Many years ago someone growing 'BC bud' in the wilds of British Columbia fed bears with dogfood to keep them around so they protect his plantings. (It is legal now in Canada, but back then the cops raided the place).
๐คฃ Very good idea ๐
Ottimo!

Looking great. I made a few in my time. They are fun creatures.
Thank you so much... really? It's not so easy for me beacause I don't have a model and I need to look a lot of bear movies to understand the anatomy, the fat skin and the hair directions ๐
It looks great! I actually always wanted to do sculptures but I've never been able to do it. It looks really fun though.
I can't wait to see the finished product!
Thank you sooo much ๐
Youโre a very talented person
I love this!
Thankk you sooo much ๐

Itโs beautiful!
