In Zoe’s Masterpiece Demo, you’ll get to watch as she creates a longer sculpture from scratch. She’ll show you everything you’ll need to get started, including how she makes her own tools, guides you through the process of setting up the wire armature, building up clay to get the large forms, and taking it to a finish with the details.
After the clay sculpt is finished you’ll see how she makes a throwaway plaster mold and a cast with a base. It’s fully narrated, as she explains her thought process, gives tips and warns about common mistakes.

Saw some people complaining about her monotone voice, meanwhile I'm astonished she can talk in depth while working. When I try to talk while working I stop mid sentence, stutter, or just straight up repeat a whole sentence!

[@timowthie]

I think sculpting would really make you understand form.

[@Doneca]

Sebastian is a hunk

[@Waynimations]

So impressive. I love hearing skillful artists talk about their work process

[@ScienceProject99]

He's so handsome. She captured his likeness well

[@VinceLocRS]

Me watching this video at 2X speed and still think it's not fast enough.

[@clauddieghdecoline8099]

I wonder what its like to be a sitter though... to watch the construction of the back of your head. Would you still recognize the piece is starting to look more and more like you?

[@AndrewK894]

Why does she measure the model's head with this caliper, she perfectly feels the proportions without it.

[@HeyMykee]

This is the method Rodin used - it was described in the back of a book I have on his work. But I've never heard the part about scaling down gradually through the tools - that's brilliant! Such a treat to see it come to life so rapidly. I wonder how long she actually took to do that?

[@acbenepe]

Sebastian has a generous face

[@eaglemihnea]

Wow. Thank you to the guy who edited the video, it's an experience, not just a learning process (since few of us are actually going to try sculpting)

[@Car_Uma]

BRILLIANT. Not only the process, but also the monologue and explanation of the process. Incredibly insightful. Zoe is a fantastic sculptor and teacher.

[@vineet2894]

the way she speaks is rlly comforting omg

[@FineArtTips]

Wow, awesome! Thank you for sharing it Stan and congrats to Zoe!

[@GglSux]

Absolutely fascinating to watch how the portrait "emerged" under her skilled hands.

[@donaldmumper7858]

I love this channel so much

[@marcobucci]

Somehow I missed this video when it was posted. Loved it!

[@emremerakl2200]

So amazing I watched the whole video with my jaw dropped. I'm especially amazed at how the light hits the sculpture the same way it hits the guy's face, showing how accurate the shapes are. Delightful.

Zoe is a spectacular sculptor. The portraits have a life to them, she captures the subject’s essence.
