Planes of the Head

[Elizabeth Schott]

Thanks for the link Maria, I had seen that posted here some where before. Honestly their images are so poor I can't tell what is going on.

It is the one above I would like, you will see how the two sides are modeled differentl. It is the further explaination as to why - I am trying to find here.

Hi Beth,

I think that the two sides represent a rough and a more detailed model of the head.

As a sculptor would go for the egg shape first and put details such as nose and mouth in later.

Thanks Allan, see I would have not looked at it that way!

I posted this at too other sites, and some one sent me to this thread at Wet Canvas, here is the important part:

I have the ORIGINAL PLANES OF THE HEAD for sale. I took over the business that my uncle started back in the 1970's. He is a very well known artist and he sculpted these in the 70's and they have been made ever since. Now I have the business and the heads are lightweight plastic that is virtually unbreakable with a tripod insert in the bottom so that artists can angle the head to match their subject. THERE IS ONLY ONE "ORIGINAL" Planes of the Head, all others being sold are unauthorized fakes. I am the only one who has them until I sell to Art supply stores and art colleges in other states.

Contact me at [email protected] if you are interested.
Happy painting and drawing
Karen, Owner of Planes of the Head

I'll let you know if I hear back from her.
