Nordic Style Carving – Sculpture Foam

Nordic Style Carving is worked with smooth edges, simple shapes, and little or no detailing.  When worked in wood, as sugar pine or black walnut, the wood grain becomes the dominate feature of the carving.

With high density sculpture foam, a Nordic styled bird carving becomes the base for adding small areas of texture or as the background for a full acrylic scene painting.

Supplies

6″ x 5″ x 1″ block of sculpture foam
basic set of carving knives
220- and 320-grit sandpaper
graphite paper for tracing
6mm black glass beads for the eyes
acrylic craft paints
