This is my most recent portrait bust, before your course.
My website is http://www.zeldastroud.com
I have been aware for a while that my work, whilst accurate, is overworked and static, and therefore fairly lifeless. I have been sculpting portraits since 2012 and although I studied sculpture in the mid-eighties, anatomy was not part of our studies. The looseness and grace that come with the confidence of knowing what is under the skin has therefore been elusive.
I initially subscribed to NMA to do the ecorche course, which was wonderful, but this portraiture course with you has been a total revelation. I cannot wait to start applying some of the knowledge I have gleaned from watching you sculpt Paul. Your gifts and intellectual generosity have been amazing.
Many, many thanks David!!!
I have only one question – how do you go about attaching the support that makes the bust free-standing so that it is lifted and there is no need to permanently mount it onto a stand/base? I would love some urgent feedback if possible
My annual subscription ends in 2 days and I cannot continue the subscription as the US dollar – ZAR exchange rate is shocking, even with Black Friday approaching (I live in South Africa), but I am eternally grateful to you and to NMA for everything I have learnt this year.
Best wishes for the future
Kindest regards
Zelda Stroud

I would urgently appreciate a full list of tools and materials please (including sizes/thickness and quantities/lengths).
I live in South Africa and may need to find alternatives so would like to order/collect everything in one go.
Love the course thus far but am finding it a bit frustrating to not have a comprehensive list as I am not building up any momentum.
Hi there, lovely course. Have worked through all the videos but would like to know why the course ends so abruptly at the end of part 7. The sculpture is not shown as complete and the eyes are unfinished by the end of the final video.
Regards
Zelda
