Incredible. Thank you so much for taking the time to have these videos accessible to anyone. Your efforts and work is VERY much appreciated and inspiring.
Nice so that means you can do some beautiful stuff right thx for your time with me love your work cant wait for the final piece you´re making. Love the horses so much its beautiful.
Thank you so much for this video!! It helped me a lot to understand how to make the mane of the horse since I got totally stuck on my model of a horse head.... Again, thank you very much mr. Lemon.
'Stunned by the details that make it into your work, Mr. Lemon. I am soon going to be carving my second clay piece- a case for my tobacco pipe, featuring the head of a Haflinger. As I watch your videos, you seem to craft a nice mold for my understanding of working with clay. Thank you for these uploads. -Fourest
Those rubber shapers are really nifty. I really love your attention to detail .You capture all of the minor contours of the musculature, its so impressive. I also really like your technique regarding the hair, its such a simple approach with a nice result.
This is amazing in so many ways!!! I love how you have such a great talent, you inspire me - and alot more people. I wish i could be as great as you are with sculpting, its just fantastic - keep it up!
Que hermoso trabajo! Yo no hablo ingles; pero sus videos son estupendos. Yo los comprendo totalmente. Gracias por todos los consejos. Usted es un maestro! Un abrazo caluroso.
Sorry don't understand the question.. ..What do I do with my clays? I think your asking.. I take them to a foundry.. they make a mold of them.. then we go through the process of casting them into bronze.
I haven't worked with air dried clay since, 1965.. I don't think you can do what I do.. in that kind of clay.. but I could be wrong.. it would take extraordinary care and ability to do this in that kind of clay. Because it does dry... so not really sure Bruno.
Wow your work is so beautiful .tell me please where I can get started to learn how to do this . Would you teach a beginners workshop ? Thankyou Rebecca
I have 8 instructional DVDs on differing sculpting subjects.. Just watch this video on my last DVD I made and at the end of the video are instructions on how to purchase my DVDs. ruclips.net/video/QZVivhejIpA/видео.html
I've always found that no matter how many pictures or whatever I have in front of me on the subject detailing what it looks like, I can never really get the art right until I know it thoroughly in my head.With the few brain cells I have left now, that's a tall order, ha ha.
I have been collecting Breyer horse models since the 90's and only just decided to try my hand at modeling. What are some tips you'd suggest for those just starting out? I have some modeling clay and tools on the way but haven't attempted anything like this before. :)
I have a DVD set that shows what you need to know. on creating Wire Armatures... as well as creating a Horse from Scratch.. You can find a preview of both these sets on this page.. adayinthelifeofalemon.blogspot.com/2019/03/nine-instructional-dvds-on-how-to.html
David ,may I ask you a question? Do you use,by any chance, fibreglass moulds?. And , could you share a video on how to cast a horse?. I'm struggling in how to get the proper division of the piece. Thanks in advance. And keep it up. You are a truly Artist. Amazing job❤
I can't be much help to you.. the foundry makes the molds.. Laytex and plaster shell.. They cut up the clay in pieces and make molds of them and then in the bronze they weld those pieces on and grind the welds till they match the surfaces.. I made this video 11 years ago. A tour of the foundry ruclips.net/video/52FXK2czGos/видео.html
Hi David just one question i have air dry terracota do you think i can do something smaller to sculpt with it or do you think its harder because its air dry clay?
Hi, can I ask if this type of clay doesn’t set why do you make them with this clay? Is it for casting? I’m self taught, still have a lot to learn, I do dogs and horses but would love to make them look as real as yours, you are amazing
Yes, I do have them molded at a foundry, where they become Bronze Castings... Here is my gallery online.. where you can see some of my unfinished as well as my finished bronzes.. bronzesbydavidlemon.blogspot.com/
Agropecuária A I use a Plasticine clay ... It never hardens and can't be fired. I finish a clay and take it to a foundry where they make a mold of the original clay and then from the mold the foundry then makes a wax copy and then cast it into a bronze.
Would love to see you sculpt some champion racehorses - Man O'War, Phar Lap, Citation, Seabiscuit, Secretariat etc All with jockeys' up and at full stretch. Lots of incredible muscle toning for you to highlight. Would have to be a bigger market for sculptured racehorses than Indians on horseback, I would think.
Thank you so much for sharing your talent and instruction! I wonder do you ever make molds of your sculpting so you can make multiple pieces? If so, do you have any videos of you doing this?
Yes I do.. I don't make the molds though. I take the clays to a foundry and the molds are made by someone there.. then I go through the process of casting my work in Bronze... I have a gallery online.. the pieces shown in clay haven't been cast into bronze yet.. the ones in bronze ... well that answers it'self... haha bronzesbydavidlemon.blogspot.com/
+katiewilson05 I do.. been selling them since 1977... My Gallery online... bronzesbydavidlemon.blogspot.com/ Keep practicing your singing.. you sound good.
willowcreekfa If you watch the video for a couple.. you'll see I added links to DVDs on my sculpting as well as a supplemental DVD I put together showing the foundry process from delivering the clay to the finished bronze.. You might want to check that out.
+David Lemon ah ok sir..coz im making my own sculptures out of mud clay..the problem is..when it dries its starting to crack..which is really frustrating..
Oh... well I made a vase with three naked scraggly witches.. all screaming.. with their heads up.. from mid thigh up.. and you could put a flower in each mouth.. lol I did a figure of Adam being formed from the earth.. That dang thing was heavy.. a bust of a Moses style head with hair and beard.. stuff like that.
You can use a Pasticine Clay called Chavant. Do a Google search. On their website they have a list of international distributors.. I used Chavan't NSP Soft clay. I hope this helps you
love your work, but it would of been a tiny bit more realistic if you made it so the mouth of the horse was open. When riding down a hill, the cowboy is pulling back on the reins as he's leaning back to slow the horse down, the mouth of the horse would be open because the bit in its mouth is pulling his mouth open. Also the horse would be tired from running around all day in the sweltering sun, so an open mouth would be more appropriate. Beautiful work though.
Sometimes horses will run around with their mouths open at liberty. The open mouth in that case is probably a display of body language. The horse could be playing, or the horse could be threatening another horse. It depends on the intent. In a situation like this, yes, the horse could be in pain from the bit pulling back, but bits don't usually harm horses, just mildly uncomfortable.
I'm sorry to say, but I don't agree with your thinking. At liberty horses can open their mouth, but it's the same when they're in a paddock, in a stable or doing their stuff. However, that's not the kind of opening mouth I'm talking about, when a horse constantly opens the mouth and tries to chew/ fight the bit for a long amount of time, that DOES mean that the horse is in pain. Bits are not harmful, yes. They're harmful only when in incorrect hands.
Love seeing you sculpting! Love your art! Thanks for sharing!
This is absolutely fantastic. Watching you work on your sculptures is just like watching magic.

David Lemon
Tank you.
You make it look so easy... I can't for once do a horse head yet... I end in frustation and start all over again and again
I know I have to start from layers and start going out. but... when I dont like what I see I just...

This is amazing I hope one day i'll be able to do that
Amazing work!

+David Lemon sorry I just found your channel :)
And thank you, I don't really do that anymore:)
Does this dry like resin? Btw beautiful work. 😉
Never dries.. I take it to a foundry after I'm done and they make a mold of it and then cast it into bronze...
Oh. Ok! Thank you for telling me.
