Vivian's
Masquerade - Leta Benedict
Letas patience and teaching techniques are such that she welcomes all
levels of students. Learn to
draw and sculpt faces Letas way. Vivian balances on her one toe, Leta
will teach you how to make the base and accomplish this balancing act.
The body construction, along with the hat and applied costuming
turns this doll into a show piece. The
face sculpting, and face painting portion of the class includes detailed
instruction on sculpting, drawing the face and the crucial shading of the
facial features. Further
instruction will include turning fingers and armature of the hands so that
they can be posed. Other
highlights of the class are applied costuming and wig making along with
some minimal sculpting in clay and beading.
Special added features in this class include the shoes, mask and
hat.
