This Patreon video is going to be all about working with and casting using Acrylic Resins. This video is aimed at beginners who want to learn how to use the material of Acrylic Resin, be it Aqua-Resin, Hydro-Resin, Jesmonite, etc., they're all the same. We will be casting a little bust out of a full body mold, meaning we'll only use a small part of a larger mold that we've made, which causes some peculiarities, which we'll cover of course. Enjoy!

Sculpting On A Budget - Anatomy & Imagination
I know its not common but through trial and error, Ive been using acrylic paint at the end when sculpting in oil based clay. it's better with a more waxy clay. But I paint the whole sculpture first in a satin or gloss first to get a rubbery stretchy layer and then depending on your taste a flat based finish. .but you have to experiment with the thickness. adding and subtracting water so you're not losing too much detail.
but I like what you're using. I've melted a lot of faces off lots of sculpts using a strong torch.
2x
The casting material is Hydro resin? Is this a form of plaster mixed with acrylic in order to make it stronger? Like jesmonite? Or is it an actual resin possibly polyester or epoxy?
No it's like jesmonite.
what a puttser
Thank you for sharing important tips
You're very welcome 🙂
Great video! Can you share what resin you prefer for this type of application?
Whatever kind of acrylic resin you can get your hands on! Usually there are local brands. If you're in the US I suggest Aqua-Resin.
Your videos helped me when i work on plaster sculptures in college anatomy and embryology classes.And your direct and pleasant narration continues to help a lot,you are a great teacher.
Thank you 🙂
this makes no sense to me. i don't understand how you put in detail while having no arms, legs, head, foot, hands, etc. Lacking the most basics in terms of blockout of forms, shapes, proportions and composition. Also, what is the thought process about adding tiny pieces of clay. its like making super small pencil lines, adding one after the other.
The basis for the things you ask for are there. Since everything is comparative I don't need the arms or the legs to build the torso. They can be added later and built to fit what is already there. The composition is worked out in smaller scales and there is a model. If you have doubts about this way of sculpting I suggest you check out the final result.
@@EirikArnesenArtwhat do you mean its there? end of video. no arms, no head, legs. nothing. You say its comparative. Yes it is. but in your case comparative to nothing. Because there is no arms, legs, head etc to compare it to. So how to you imply the basis is there? Sure you worked out a composition in a smaller scale. Which is great. But that doesn't mean you can skip the basics for the large scale. You simply don't sketch out a full body figure by drawing one part into detail before even starting other parts of the composition. "Since everything is comparative I don't need the arms or the legs to build the torso. They can be added later and built to fit what is already there." Who teaches that? Everything is part of the composition. the thickness of the ankles in comparison to the the wrists in comparison to the neck. All matters in regards to the piece as a whole. Structure as a whole. not in isolation. Adding detail in isolation is very strange.
In comparison to the torso of course. When I add the legs and arms I'll compare them to what is already there. I'm using the torso to set the scale essentially. That's how I'll determine the proportions. We teach that at the Florence Academy of Art. It's seems strange but it works well and we have a very good track record teaching this way. I don't really think the breasts, the abdomen and some ribs count as detail. But opinions will vary on this. Perhaps there is more than one way to sculpt? Feel free to send me some of your work and tell me how you made it if you think you have a way that's superior and leads you to better results.
@@EirikArnesenArt sure there is more then one way to do something. I can't see how this method is any good though in it most basics. "In comparison to the torso of course. When I add the legs and arms I'll compare them to what is already there. I'm using the torso to set the scale essentially. That's how I'll determine the proportions." You restrict yourself so much by locking one area in isolation. Even if you were doing a sketch. Also this strange separation. the leg movement is impacted by the pelvis. the arms are impacted by the position of the rib cage and shoulder gurtel. To isolate and separate make no sense anatomically either. you make up borders in the composition and this case the body. Why? What are any positives to sculpt in isolation? or draw in isolation? or paint in isolation? or 3d model in isolation? or texture in isolation? It doesn't apply anywhere. starting with one part and then be restricted to by that one part is very bad practice. I wouldn't recommend it for absolutely anyone. The problem is always the same. You put in too much work in isolation while being blind on how the piece is constructed, looks and feels as a whole. Then you will have to change it later because you worked blind. but you already put too much work in so you will restrict yourself in changing the torso. nor can you change it easily because subconsciously you will tend to keep what you did. again simple blackout minimal restrictions. by working in isolation you shackle yourself and work blind. That applies to anything. Draw a plane? sketch the entire plane. Draw a landscape? sketch the entire composition. sculpt a head? sketch the entire head. not facial features with no ears and no neck. The whole composition is key. How everything relates to each other in proportions, scale, flow, connections and structure. Having blackouts of the entire piece allows you to change and explore the piece as a whole. probably the most important part. sure ribs and abdomen count as detail. for this piece. how you can think of ribs with no leg, arms and head? doesn't that sound backwards? Sadly in western schools its a pretty sad state. Russian art schools tend to be far superior when it comes to sculpture and drawing education. I would like to hear what is the negative of blocking out the entire piece versus sculpting in detail in isolation. Aware that youtube comments tend to come across as rude and brash. This is not a critique at you but at the method. I appreciate your thoughts about the method.
Tusen takk for another informative casting video ^_^ (watchin you fill the seams n fix bubbles was super satisfying, as usual : )) )!!
Thank you 🙂
Hello which clay do you use? And what type of color I can use to paint the skin more realistic?
I use water-based terracotta clay. I don't know much about painting unfortunately. Sorry, you're gonna need to find a painting channel for that.
I like how in this video you gave a way of referencing the serratus muscles and rib cage as I find ensuring symmetry within a dynamic pose more challenging, so it is helpful to add another point of reference based on fixed points of the rib cage to my knowledge, thanks for sharing this..
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for sharing this video. Don't worry about the delay. Any material shared will be put to good use. One of the reasons i follow your videos lies in this balance of really important elements that always brings the academic. Execution driven by dense theory. The narration involved with the good direction. Never lose that spirit young in their narratives and this commitment to real learning.
Thank you! I'm glad you like the video "style".
I appreciate the addition of vocabulary like “dynamic figure fusion” to describe Michelangelo - there is such a dirth of knowledge and theory on the processes of constructing the figure, even though it was no doubt an extremely technical process!
I'm an academic sculptor at heart so there will always be dense theory in these videos. Communicating theory well is a good way to provide value in my opinion. Too many artists claim to teach but teach nothing. I hope I can provide something concrete for people to apply.
Thank you for a sculpting video that actually considers the REALITY of trying to complete a piece nicely & practically! :)
You're welcome!

How do you remove the structural part outside the sculpture when it is done?
I make a mold so I don't have to remove it. There is a full video series here on RUclips for the mold making on this sculpture.
Formidável, pode se perceber a notável entrega e dedicação do artista, sua mente aguda e perwpicaz na concepção dos princípios da estrutura e da forma, como que a desvendar a geofísica corporal , a interrelação entre as partes a formar a grande unidade. Gostei muito
Can't wait till part 2!
Coming soon 😉
@@EirikArnesenArt Awesome! Have a resin 3D printer I would like to make molds of for a board game.
Hello! So when you have started sculpting for the first time? I would love to work for the industry or as freelancer later. Started sculpting today :-D but i cant imageine how many years you need
It's a long journey but stick with it! Patience is key.
What clay you use?
Water-based terracotta clay.
@@EirikArnesenArtThanks 🙏
Excelente commentary and methods. Thank you
You're welcome 🙂
Thank you for this sculpture
You're welcome!
a perfect video for all the newbie's which explains the process perfectly..... i tried to reinforce it by adding fibre reinforcement which is used as a concrete additive and it was a massive fail as the fibres stuck to each other becoming large chunks which made the casting unbalanced. Thanks again Eirik for these videos
Stunning informative videos as always❤
Thank you!
Thank you very much for your good teaching👍🙏
Thank you!
These videos are didactically perfect🙌👏
Thank you Andrea!
Thanks so much ❤
You're welcome 🙂
Man, I wish I could sculpt like that. Whether I use Polymer Clay or Monster Clay, my sculptures always look like deformed clones of humans.
That's just practice! You'll get better for sure. It's not rocket science and doesn't require something special. Just many many hours of practice. You can do it!
I dont think its a good idea to glue armature to base until you finish the sculpture. There can be many changes along the way. If its glued you are stuck with the original form.
This is true and I agree with you. This video is a little old and I don't glue the armature into the base anymore.
i don't think you have to have a why. Ever. Wanting something is enough. Why do you want to be an artist? Because you just do, right?
Hi Eirik, it is a very helpful video! i have a question: in order to make the mothermoluld, do you use normal plaster with Aqua resin?..or is it a particular type of plaster?
Thank you! Aqua-resin is its own type of material. You can use plaster to make mother molds as well and I have several videos on how to do just that.
This video managed to describe the issue of light so completely that it was not limited to just the issue of effect.I will certainly look at great sculptures from now on with different eyes.I will look with eyes that can read the light and its colors in detail.And the narration always pleasant.🙌🙌
Thank you 🙂!
looks amazing.
Thank you!
Brillant work
Thank you!

Thank you!
It’s interesting to see how in the past, sculptures were made in sections which were then joined together e.g. hands would be separate. Iron pins seem to have been used. Seams would be filled with a cement or lactose adhesive. In the Renaissance, there was debate about this - a single piece was considered more ‘masterly’ because more difficult, but the typical figure sculpture was in sections which was cheaper and easier. They had various devices too - e.g. a figure of Mercury stand by a tree stump uses that stump for structural support. It’s art, aesthetics and engineering working together in a way that perhaps only sculptors appreciate.
A single piece being more masterful has more to do with marble than with cast pieces. They didn't have modern welding or modern mold making materials so making single pieces when casting probably meant less work but also something you have to consider when designing your composition. The Laocoon is three pieces of marble put together and is (and was at the time of the renaissance) considered a masterpiece. The Greeks often welded or pinned their bronze statues together from pieces.
@@EirikArnesenArt Yes, that debate was about carved works - marble, alabaster etc. Interestingly pieces were also sometimes made from cast stone and made in parts, assembled much as would do with a carved work. Using cast stone seems to make good economic sense as corrections could be made and that would also be suited for e.g. church monuments as the client might want to make changes - that could be accommodated with a clay or plaster master. Wall monuments could also be lighter as they could be hollow if cast (something sometimes seen in the Renaissance). Even experts can have difficulty recognising cast stone and mistakenly assume a piece is carved stone when it isn’t. My project is trying to reverse engineer the techniques they used. Your videos have been a real help.
Why do you use silicone rather than latex? Latex has more stretch and so would not have nearly as many seams e.g. at the knees. It might take more work perhaps (building up 20-30 layers, waiting for each layer to dry), but it might also be less expensive than silicone. Does silicone e.g. give better detail in the mould than latex?
From what I understand latex shrinks too much to get accurate results. I have to admit that I'm not 100% sure why, but nobody I've seen (who's work I respect) uses latex and everyone uses silicone. So I just use silicone.
@@EirikArnesenArt Many thanks for this very helpful reply. Yes, following up on that and looking into technical data, it seems that latex is more prone to shrinking and so RTV silicone is best for accurate reproduction. For garden ornaments that shrinkage won’t matter, but for fine art sculptures, it does. Also perhaps silicone mould properly cared for might last longer.
If you do this often, have an mdf board that you clamp vertically to the workbench as a guide for the base. If this has a hole in it that you can reach through, you can then align the L brackets. Use Paraloid B72 to stick the L Bracket in place - it will hold firmly after a few seconds. Then can reinforce that with fibreglass etc. Or simply have a board, like a floorboard clamped vertically to the workbench, and move it along when do the other side. Paraloid B72 should hold 100kg or so if the L bracket has 2 square cm against the inside, so that may be enough anyway.
Good tip! Thank you! I'll give this is a try in the future.
How many kg of silicone was used for this sculpture?
Probably 5-10kg.

CAN THIS BE USED ON HIRE FIRE STONE WARE?
I'm not sure. I don't know much about ceramics.
As always,your narration is very pleasant.I particularly like this absolute silence while the narration runs through the video because I don't get distracting.And also because I always like to watch the full video and then just listen to the narration,just the sound.The video is very technical and full of golden points of anatomy without being monotonous or complex.I think that anyone who has studied anatomy in the classroom and in practical classes clearly understands this detail.And for those who have never studied,the explanations are also crystal clear.I think that two necessary pieces of knowledge have been brought together that lead us to a path of no return, because we will look at your sculptures or any work we do in a different way.Observing more carefully,essential and necessary points in the work that will inevitably lead us to gradually climb the steps of improvement in our creative process.Thanks for sharing.
