Impossible Job: Hollowing a Complex Sculpture
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 дек 2024
- In order to fire a sculpture in water-based clay, any type of rigid armature embedded in it needs to be removed because as the clay retracts during the drying process (since the armature does not) it would crack and break. It is also better to remove clay from the inside to reduce the risk of explosion during firing. It can be a challenge.

Imagine having the confidence to dig into something so perfect.
Exactly!, it requires such trust in your abilities to sculpt that any damage you might cause can be repaired, very inspiring to see.
yeah...more like courage than confidence.....
@@DutchGrass420 well. He obviously has those abilities as he was able to make it in the first place
That was nerve wracking to watch. Glad it was successful! Another beautiful sculpture!
incredible
Biggggggggggg faaaaaan sirrrrrrrrrr from india
Supports one of my core beliefs: If you make it yourself then you can fix it yourself. Holds true, even for an artist. Wonderful piece!
For me, to hollow a sculpture is the most difficult part, I'm always afraid to break it. This sculpture is a masterpiece, really beautiful.
The facial expectations. were captured so life like. MASTERPIECE in deed. Respect
Great Philippe!! Wonderful masterpiece!! Some sculptors doesn't know how much is hard take off the armature from a sculpture... and specially in a articulate piece like this, you gotta stay really focused!!! I use to do that for make pieces in terracotta... every time is always like a challenge!! You're afraid to lose your sculpture that you made with such a love... long time ago, I lost a sculpture tall 2,15 mt after I took off the entire armature from it... the statue gave way and it fell front of my eyes, I felt so sad, I didn't get in my studio for at least one week, it's almost like you lose a piece of your heart... but I promised to myself that I'm gonna make it again one day!!
You really do need to make a mold of this for wax positives. Or even resin casts. It's a gorgeous piece.
@Yes Sir! What? Are you OK?
@@Declan-pg8cg he did, see the beginning of the video
not only is the sculpture itself genuinely unique... The art of digging it out so refined is a true art in itself!
The leap of trust in ones self ... no other way is there than to go for it , hats off to you Philippe for sharing that Leap .
I really hope to see more... you’re incredibly talented and seeing you work is moving. Thank you for sharing your passion.
Just ordered from your site again. I have studied for years and you suggested water based clays. I have played with it but have no way to fire it. You are an amazingly skilled master. One day after this craziness is over I would like to but you a coffee and visit your studio.
There is truly something very special about your work.
OMG..magical!! Its darn beautiful. You blew me away. You are a true artist. Wow!!!!!!
it's like watching surgery but without the blood. wish them both a full recovery. Had hoped to see the final casting in the vid.
What a stress removing the armature ! Great job, Philippe ! I'm glad it was successful and you didn't ruin it during the process ! What a relief to see you finish !
I'm without words...OMG!!
THAT'S AMAZING!!!
This was so painful to watch !!
It’s like watching some sort of grotesque surgery!
I couldn't agree more😫
He made her , she was beautiful , her friend was beautiful, then He killed them by dismembering them . He then removed their bones, and re-patched their bodies ...😢
@@Manzmussul That would make a GREAT horror movie tbh....
But in the end, all turned out well. I was certainly holding my breath a few times.
Sir, You are a Great Artist and Sculpturist and I enjoy watching your videos...Thank You.
Love it. I came to search how to hollow water-based clay sculpts and your channel alone is a gold mine. Thanks for these.
Much joy and peace in watching you maneuver through the cutting and repairs.
Grazie per condividere! Sono impressionata del lavoro!
Omg it about killed me to watch you do that. But Wow!! You do such amazing work! 😍🤩😁I love all your videos. Thank you for what you do.
breath taking. I was right there with you with every nip of the winds cutters. Amazing 💕
I keep learning more and more every time I watch you. I have students use newspaper for armature in clay in my high school and burn it out slowly with animal figures before a full fire for vitrification. I am wondering, since many want to try human figures and newspaper has it's limitation if we couldn't use a light wood like balsa for armature and then burn it out like we do with the newspaper. (I have outdoor kilns so fumes are not an issue for my class) I don't know that my students have the fortitude to slice up their pieces and gut them like you have, though I intend to show them this video so they can see.... IT CAN BE DONE! Thank you sir.
Meu Deus!!!!!!!! Que perfeição!!!!!!! estou aqui de boca aberta!!! fantástico... incrível...
It hurts watching this. What a extraordinary piece. I'm subscribing .
Not only are you a very gifted artist, you would've also made a very skilled surgeon!
I can now hold my breath for 7 minutes and 17 seconds.
Hahaha...Same here
right?
Stunning work and a very well executed removal of the armature, well done Sir, beautiful!
I almost shed a tear watching this. Great job and awesome sculpture!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@sculpit where are you based? If you were in Melbourne Australia I would be honoured to fire them for you. 😀
OMG!!! This is awesome!
Your the best!💜
OMG, i was suffering so much !!!! Très beau et sensible travail Philippe !!!
Wow! Amazing work! So glad it worked out for you! Great Idea!
Such a beautiful and perfect sculpture, but that was really painful to watch, you are very talented :)
Un travail titanesque, merci de nous l'avoir partagé...
I never thought I'd watch a video of a man deboning a clay sculpture but here we are.
All jokes aside though.. this is gut wrenching to watch, well done for even having the confidence to do this- let alone do it so flawlessly!
It's not even my sculpture why am I so apprehensive watching this?!! And I didn't even watch you modeling it, now i want to! This is a magnificent work.
BRUH, you're crazy!!! AMAZING!!
I got anxiety watching you pull this apart. What a gift your are. Thanks for sharing
That is SKILL and confidence at work!
You are really talented and this video gives to you 1000 points more
Hat's off to your patience , accuracy and dedication ..Love this job😍
You're a miracle worker, man.
Fabulous piece of work.
That was fantastic work man.
Most difficult job. If I were you , will surely lost several heart beats. Thanks for sharing a courageous attempt.
AWESOME!!! Hard to watch!! Truly AWESOME!!!!!!!!
Would love to see it fired!!! Amazingly subtle work!
Dude, you're amazing!!
GENIUS, IS THE WORD.
De los mejores videos que he visto....realmente espectacular
Impressive work, beautiful work, well done

This sculpture is so life like! such an outstanding piece I'm glad you pulled it off 👏👏👏
Exquisite piece, but too painful to watch. Virtuoso artistry and technical mastery in one set of hands. Hats off to you!
great piece, great tought procces, super work!!!
Неперевершена робота. Дякую.
me: are you nuts? you could never remove that... Philippe: hold my beer.
Very Funny... thanks.
NOOOOOO IMPOSIBLIE BUUUEYYY PERO QUE BRUTO ARTISTA QUE ERESSS TE FELICITOOOOO!!!!!!!
Wow this was amazing. I was hurting when you where cutting out the parts AFTER doing so much work. 😅
But I get it, saves so much clay. Great talent 👏. Thank you for sharing
Fabulous work
Absolutely gorgeous work!
Well done beautiful job.
Wow. Thanks. This was exceptionally informative.
Yes, it can be done... by someone with your exquisite and godly mastery. Any normal being in this planet would have: (a) died of a heart attack just by slicing it; or (b) would have not even dared to put a finger after all the work already done to create such masterpiece.
Amazing! I know how hard this is.
Great artwork! Your amazing!
Your job is amazing.
WOW!!
This is stunning....!
Love it, subbed you, most definitely wanna see more...
Pure craftsmanship...👍🏼
Fine work.
My chest was feeling heavy by watching this
Awesome sculpture 😍🤩😍
We already knew since Michelangelo that carving is "just" removing the part of the stone that is not the sculpture... You "just" extend the concept to the ultimate level! J'admire vote travail depuis bien longtemps, j'espère un jour avoir le temps et la chance de participer à une de vos formations. Merci d'avoir sauvé cette œuvre. Pourra-t-on la voir après cuisson ?
1:30 Just that leg alone is so exquisite.
that was very hard work monsieur philippe. i wont have to do it; i use air dry clay. [a beginner]. i am inspired by your beautiful works. you do realise we have now a global renaissance in Art? so many artists are leading the way; showing us how ..yt gets a lot of britbats these days but i think yt has helped tremendously in areas such as sculpture, painting, and survival; and the latest in science programmes. all that and an education in money too. some day i shall be as good as you. [in my next life...]...
This have made my night a lot better... just amazing!!! I wish to see the result after it is fired
That was amazing!
such great work

NeonsStyle ...this is what I want to know.
