Learning to SCULPT a HORSE in polymer clay & mold for resin casting

My second adventure in teaching myself how to make a REALISTIC horse in CLAY (this time in Sculpey brand polymer clay) and then make a SILICONE MOLD of the sculpture for RESIN CASTING a few duplicates for my own painting adventures! This horse is 100% HANDMADE, with love. It is currently limited to four personal copies that I hope to paint soon, so subscribe for future adventures!

✨IN THIS VIDEO:
○ Start-to-finish stages of sculpting a realistic horse in polymer clay
○ Making a two-part block mold from silicone rubber
○ Casting detailed copies in resin
○ How I overcame mistakes
○ The breed of horse is a Campolina Marchador!

I publish videos once a month sharing my adventures in creating horse and animal art in my free time for my own enjoyment, like sculpture, painting, printmaking and more. If you enjoy watching the adventures of an artist making things by hand, and sometimes learning something new, I’d love to show you what I make next!
