Sorry about that. The internet is almost non-existent here. I think I may have been able to get some good info out, but I'll probably later delete this video. I'll try to keep this up every Mon, Wed, and Fri though! Thanks so much for watching anyway!

Thank you for the small video.. it's always a problemen woensdag technic doesn't work have a nice trip...

Thank you! It is very inspiring to me that you are excited by this topic. I hope you find learning sculpture a way to enjoy life even more!

Thank you! I will be working on the raccoon face when I'm there!

Hi Cindy! Hopefully see you on Friday morning if I can get internet while camping!

Great! I hope to see you soon. I am so glad you got the guide!

Hey Mark! Wow, glad to know you're watching and hope to see you soon!

He Mark, Vicky how nice to do this with you together...so nice..I hope I can join you at 8. Because of the different time zone... See you al soon.😃

Thank you, I really appreciate your feedback because that's what I hope to do... share what I know after being in the field a long time.

Thanks for the comment. You know, I was doing this in front of my computer and for the first time in 2021. I am trying to sculpt, answer questions, and keep a train of thought all at once. There is no camera person present to create a broadcast-quality event. Plus it's all free. So hope you did get something from my effort.

@@LearnSculptureNo need to be so defensive as I didn't ask you for a " broadcast quality event" but for the basics " you post a video and no one can see what you"re doing " which makes it almost useless. Maybe that's why you have 8 views! My intention was to help you by making you aware of it. No one watches to admire your hair, just use a basic overhead setup like your husband ( no need for a camera man). Yes your video is free, but there are lots of other free videos on UA-cam and of better quality so no need to watch yours. You seem to love admiring yourself in the lenses and act like you're doing a huge service to humanity by posting a not so great video on UA-cam, so maybe reflect on it a little. My first comment was not malicious or ill intented at all but feel free to take this one as such since obviously I got annoyed by how you replied😁

Glad you enjoyed it! I am working on a new project... will launch soon!

Oh, I am so glad you find it inspiring. I am working on a new follow-along project for everyone now. I hope you were able to download the patterns.

I will be adding new sculptures soon!

I hope you enjoy the expanded barn owl sculpture lessons. Thanks!

I've seen your UA-cam Thumbnails, which are good but not attractive for audience perspective. I can make your UA-cam Thumbnails more attractive and clickable by my beautiful design ideas. I really want to grow your business with me professional and eye catchy designs. May I get any chance to show you that what can I really do for you?

@@siameditz43 What I am doing is what I want. I am able to craft any kind of thumbnail myself. I am going for what I authentically do, not trying to get more clicks.

So nice to see the video's again..

You're welcome!

Thank you! I will be uploading more of my series today, and the barn owl patterns are free at learnsculpture.org.

Thank you, and you can get the download of the project patterns at learnsculpture.org.

Thank you, and it makes me cry to know this is all I had left. But I think I'll just have to go ahead and continue the lessons, starting with the livestreams I did in 2021. One side of me says maybe because I was not the sculptor he was, I have no business teaching. But the thing is, I learned so much from him and all the projects we did together over the years for the big gift companies, and I should try to share everything I learned. I am in school right now so have super challenges with time, but I really need to do this. I will try!

Yes, after 12 years. Sadly Charles Oldham a passed away in 2014. I am his student and plan to post new videos soon.

@@LearnSculptureSure, do more videos, we'll be following you

@@mm-fx8bk Ok, I know... sorry for the lack of new material. I had a bunch of live streams I did and I will upload them again. Hopefully later today.

@@LearnSculpture thanks

I am so glad you liked the video and found it valuable. Chuck was an amazing sculptor. I am his student and can begin lessons again in his place next spring. He passed away in 2014, but I have so much more to share that I learned from him. Thanks again for your nice comment.

@@heartandcheer RIP Chuck (I didn’t know). Yeah, it’s pretty amazing what one’s creativity can accomplish with such a simple and basic medium.

Glad it was helpful!

Hi there... its at the top of the learn sculpture channel. You can find out about the clay and more there.

I'm so glad! Thank you for commenting. I will be restarting this channel in 2025. I am in college at Northern Arizona University right now (yes, at my age). One year to go, and then I'm back taking up what Chuck did when we began our channel so many years ago!

Por favor, visita el sitio web para obtener información sobre los materiales, como qué arcilla usar.

Hi Stephen, and sorry for being so late to answer. Charles (Chuck) Oldham passed away a little more than two years after we began this channel. I am his widow, and have remarried. He taught me sculpting but I will never be nearly as good! He was a prodigy. But I will continue to teach what I learned from him, starting again next year. I am continuing a college degree right now (yes, at my age!). Thank you for visiting us! - Vicky Oldham

Thank you so much! I hope to return to doing short tutorials. So sadly, my husband Chuck who is the sculptor in this and other videos passed away in 2014. He would be thrilled to know how valuable this series was to people. I was his student for 30+ years and became competent, but nowhere near the talent he was!

I'm glad you're finding it so helpful. There are so many ways to go about sculpting when you start from the very beginning, but realizing that everything around you is reducible to geometric forms (visually speaking!) is so helpful. Thanks for visiting.

Thank you so much for saying this. It made me cry, because it is true. I was his main student (Vicky Oldham) and I'll be back after the holidays with some new lessons. I'm not nearly the natural talent he was, but I learned to sculpt enough to do it professionally. There are so many questions that come in all the time and I do have the answers to most because I worked with Chuck for decades (since I was 19, and I'm now 68. He passed away from an incurable lung illness in 2014). Thanks again for your heartfelt comment.

Thank you for continuing this channel! I am sure he is proud. I saw your work - it's amazing too! God bless you.@@LearnSculpture

Hi, for the lessons, we use oil-based clay, like plastelline, which is never meant to be fired, just reused. But a silicone mold can be made on the oil based clay and then some permanent material like hydrostone can be cast in the mold. It may require being cleaned up with a tool, and some parts reattached, but it will be a permanent piece, and you can make copies as well. After the holidays, I'll post more about moldmaking.

Hope this video is helpful!

Best of luck!

Practice the figure demo and you will be able to make any kind of person!

Hi, I use oil-based clay, and recommend this when you're learning so you get the basics of sculpting first. Then you can work on harder media like air dry clay and keep parts moist before attaching.

Thank you so much!!

Thank you!

Sorry for the delay answering. No, this is oil based clay, intended for making a mold on later, then casting in a more permanent material (like bronze).

We prefer oil based clay for the original sculpture.

I will make sure it does when I finish school in December. Thank you for visiting!

LOL!

They are old but still helping people learn to sculpt.

The sculptor in most of the videos is my late husband Chuck Oldham from the Philadelphia Pa area. Thanks for commenting.

Sorry for the delay answering. Go to our site, learnscupture.org to learn more, get details.

Hi, thank you so much. I am Vicky Oldham, and Chuck, my husband of 39 years and a master sculptor passed away in 2014. I intend to do shows as I was his student, but will not be able to get back to more videos until later this year. Plan to do so then!

Thank you so much!

Thank you for watching!
