A Sculptor’s Journey: From Concept to Completion and Points In Between

Workshop | Available

In this class, students will explore the aspects of taking an idea from its inception to thumbnail, to pinch model, to the armature, to creating volume with the application of clay with attention to anatomical correctness. Each of the stages, coupled with originality and imagination, have importance in achieving the goal of a finished sculpture, the realization of the sculptor’s vision. Students will be covering relatable scale in their work: the human figure and its relation to horses, other animals and their environment. Students will learn armature construction in a manner that will allow greater freedom when sculpting horses, cattle and other quadrupeds. Participants can expect instructor demonstrations and one on one attention. The goal is for students to leave inspired and with more than they came with. www.jasonscull.com

Jason Scull

Jason Scull grew up in a family that farmed and ranched on the fringes of the South Texas brush country. His people were early settlers in Texas who arrived in the mid 1820’s that ranched, raised families, fought wars and carved a place in the American West. In his nearly forty years of making art, it is from his early experiences and heritage that his sculpture has been shaped, directed, and inspired.

 

Scull's life with cattle and horses coupled with his respect for the culture of the American West formed his early interest in Western Art and the direction his work would ultimately take. He majored in Animal Science at Texas A&M and later returned to the family ranch where he remained involved in the operation until 2010. His early study of sculpture began in 1987 through the Cowboy Artists of America Museum workshop program. Additionally, his art education came in the form of personal study with established artists, most notably Jack Swanson, Mehl Lawson, and Cynthia Rigden. Scull was a member of the Cowboy Artists of America from 2011-2022.

 

An award-winning artist, Scull most recently received the Directors Award for Sculpture at the Museum of Western Art 42nd Roundup, Kerrville, Texas and the Jim Bowie Award for Sculpture at the Briscoe Museum 2023 Night of Artists in San Antonio, Texas. A South Texas Aesthetic, a two man show with landscape painter Noe Perez was held at the Museum of Western Art, Kerrville, Texas from November 2024- January 2025. Over the years he and his work have been featured in Art of the West, Southwest Art, Western Horseman, and Western Art Collector. Jason and his wife Dianne make their home in the Texas Hill Country near Kerrville, Texas.
