Sculptures:
Unlike a painted portrait, a sculptured portrait can capture a tangible image. The artist/viewer can touch the image and feel the shape of a cheekbone, nose or lips. Portraits are best done with a live model. Typically, a portrait can be completed in 3 to 5 three hour sessions with the model.
