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!!
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.
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 !
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 ...😢
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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...]...
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 ?
Wow, I am amazed to 'how' the Laguna clay stays so fresh, or was there a need to moisten the clay before you start to dissect and remove the clay from the armature(s) ? Would be good to see the firing process and how the work 'faired' afterward. Sure hope it ends well Philippe, good luck my friend.
Hi Colin. Sorry for the late reply. The clay is left drying until it reaches a leather-hard consistency. At this point the inside is still soft and easy to scoop out but the surface is hard enough to prevent the piece from collapsing.
@@sculpit No need to apologize Philippe, it is good that you have the courtesy to reply and respect you spending time in doing so, thank you. I now understand, but, I would still be really nervous when undertaking such a task.
can someone explain me why can't it be baked with some armature? I'm wondering (NVM i just read description :D didnt knew clay retracted that much) Also beautiful process this is so interesting to watch!
Grazie, video molto istruttivo. Complimenti per la creatività e la manualità. Una domanda: quando liscio l'argilla uso il pennello morbido da acquarello, ma mi lascia comunque le righe sulla superficie. Quando vedo i tuoi video invece, la superficie è liscia e lucida, come fai ?
Very unique and out of ordinary. What inspired this imagination? Was it a picture you saw or just your own imagination? Can we see the finished product?
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
incredible
Biggggggggggg faaaaaan sirrrrrrrrrr from india
That was nerve wracking to watch. Glad it was successful! Another beautiful sculpture!
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.

not only is the sculpture itself genuinely unique... The art of digging it out so refined is a true art in itself!
The facial expectations. were captured so life like. MASTERPIECE in deed. Respect
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
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.
OMG..magical!! Its darn beautiful. You blew me away. You are a true artist. Wow!!!!!!
I can now hold my breath for 7 minutes and 17 seconds.
Hahaha...Same here
right?
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 !
Love it. I came to search how to hollow water-based clay sculpts and your channel alone is a gold mine. Thanks for these.
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.
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.
I'm without words...OMG!!
THAT'S AMAZING!!!
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!
Much joy and peace in watching you maneuver through the cutting and repairs.
OMG!!! This is awesome!
Your the best!💜
Not only are you a very gifted artist, you would've also made a very skilled surgeon!
Un travail titanesque, merci de nous l'avoir partagé...

absolutely magnificent!!!
wish i could be educated by you!! Wow 😮
Did it survive the firing? Beautiful work.
NeonsStyle ...this is what I want to know.
Would love to see a post-firing photo.
it must dry first... slowlyyyy...
drying could be 6 weeks or more,gently the slower the better
such great work

Amazing! I know how hard this is.
This have made my night a lot better... just amazing!!! I wish to see the result after it is fired
great job a smart man
1:30 Just that leg alone is so exquisite.

My chest was feeling heavy by watching this
Awesome sculpture 😍🤩😍

Hello!
I Enjoyed every second of it )),
BRAVO!
Потрясающе! Филипп, для чего вы разбираете каркас и делаете скульптуру полой?
