Direct Wax Sculpture
by Frank Eliscu
Welcome to the world of Direct Wax Sculpture. For those who venture into this old medium—a favorite of the Renaissance sculptors, but only recently "rediscovered"—a whole new world of experience awaits you. The tactile sensation of working in wax is different from that of other sculpture media . Its responsiveness to temperature, its sensitivity to touch and its honest in response to detail gives it a sense of immediacy.
For those seeking to express themselves in a personal and fluid medium, nothing can surpass wax. Just the heat of your hands will soften it and a dash of cold water will harden it and, best of all, if not subjected to extreme heat it can last forever.
 For the sculptor who wants a medium for quick sketches that retain his freshness of concept, nothing is superior to wax. In this book we start with the simplest projects and explore the possibilities of our medium and, gradually, through the different techniques possible with wax, we are working in the most advanced and sophisticated areas of sculpture.
As a wax is a transient medium, Mr. Eliscu takes us to the ultimate destination of wax, the foundry, and finally to the bronze itself. In other words, from the sculptor's fingers to the finished bronze, we can follow it all in this book.
Here are experimentation, improvisation and new horizons. DIRECT WAX SCULPTURE is a definitive guide to an ancient, increasingly popular craft. Frank Eliscu's previous book,
Scultpure: Techniques in Clay, Wax, Slate, established him as the leading authority on the subject.
