Description
Layout and deep relief animal modeling demonstration piece
This casting is from Martin Strolz’s advanced course which allowed experienced students to learn some of his techniques for designing layouts and engraving firearms. This demonstration piece is a “finished” example of the techniques. Strolz has purposely left the plate progressively unfinished. The plate shows various stages of execution so that it is easy to see the steps in between a blank plate and a finished work.
The work here goes from outline cuts on the left to background cutting and modeling to the final stage on the right side of the plate.
