work in progress: natural look:)

hello,

lately i have been spending the most of my time painting.
so i took a little time off and spent a day carving this piece out.
wood is the newest material that i tried out and it is probably my favorite to work with.
the process is a lot more challenging than other material but i do love the natural look of the surface. there a lot more to do with this piece but so far i'm really happy how she turned out. it is difficult for me to control the expression of the face when i'm using wood as material. with this piece i feel like i was able to carved out the expression that i was searching for...

anyway here is a image

a lesson from takimoto sensei

thanks to my girl friend emi.

i had a chance to attend wood carving (kikezuri) class few weeks ago.
the class was hosted by mr takimoto who is a master japanese woodcarver, he emphasized on letting wood speak for itself and it was interesting to keep my hands moving without really thinking the end result. it was a perfect way to spend a nice sunday afternoon.


here are some photos:




this is what we used to carved the wood.
