Relief Carving Techniques
By Ivan Whillock
56 pages - 32211bk
We pride ourselves on writing books that teach the "techniques" of carving, rather than simply a project. After following our step-by-step projects, you'll know techniques that you can apply to all of your projects. Follow the step-by-step carving instructions to learn some of the most difficult techniques in relief carving... a profile and front view of a realistic face. You'll also learn Ivan Whillock's special techniques for landscapes, including leaves, evergreens and buildings.
After you've completed the 4 step-by-step projects you can move on to the 16 addtional projects ... each includes a photo of the finished carving and carving hints (along with the pattern):
- singing robin on a branch
- man sleeping & fishing leaning on tree
- horse and barn landscape
- a beautiful rose close-up
- a floral basket
- a cowboy sitting by the campfire
- the backwoods cabin
- the cabin road (cover project)
- the bird in a tree (excellent, lots of leaves/layering ... a great carving!)
- profile man with hat
- profile girl with beautiful long hair
- profile woman holding baby close
- young woman front view
- woman leaning on hand, eyes closed
- front view young woman's face
- the old wood spirit ( a very nice design!)
