Classic Casts for Drawing and Sculpting

Artists and art students now have the opportunity to work with museum quality plaster casts from the renowned Giust Gallery of Woburn, Massachusetts. 

Casts have long been used to train students to develop the ability to see form as it occurs in nature.  Some people have a natural ability to see form and record it accurately either in sketching, painting or sculpture, others need more training.  However, all need the practice and discipline of studying natural form.

 Cast drawing encourages a three dimensional understanding of form as opposed to working from a two dimensional subject.  The result is a deeper and more accurate understanding of natural form with exact proportions and subtleties that can also translate into a deeper understanding of any subject and results in drawings that are more true to life. 

Giust Gallery, recognized as the most authentic classical replica piece mold studio in the U.S., uses time honored molding and hand casting techniques.  The quality of these casts makes them ideal for students.

Drawing from casts' requires the student to place strong emphasis on accurate observation of proportion, shape, and tonal value of an object exactly as it appears to the artist/student on a one to one scale.

Each high quality cast is individually hand made in the United States by skilled artisans with professional insight and attention to detail.  Do not settle for inferior casts from poor molds. 

A cast from Giust Gallery will always be a welcome addition to your studio or home.
