Suggested Items:

This course guides you through a procedure for drawing a plaster cast. As such, you’ll need some drawing materials if you’re going to complete the course work.

Specific materials recommendations are available in the course if you prefer to secure these items on your own, but for your convenience we also offer these items for sale.

Since cast drawing is really about working “from life”, it is recommended that students acquire their own cast to draw from during the course. The cast used in this course costs about $45 (US).

We have 2 suppliers for this cast to help keep shipping costs to a minimum. Students in North America might consider purchasing the cast from Giust Gallery in Massachusetts. Students in Europe, Asia and Australia might consider purchasing from closer to home via Felice Calchiin Rome.

For those students unable to procure their own cast, an HDR photo reference and a 3D digital view of the cast are provided as an alternative.
