for the students, of a textbook on wood carving.
Encouraged by the students, Benoi published
two books on the subject.
«The magic gouge», wood sculpture
This book is the first one written by a canadian author
on wood sculpture. It is intended for a large public.
This book was written to help those who wish to discover and learn
the basics of wood sculpture.
Still up to date, this book is on its
fourth impression.
Throughout this book, the author delivers
his technical knowledge,
explains the basic principles
and propose progressive methods,
the whole supported by
many pictures and drawings.
In 1999, Benoi published
another book on wood sculpture:
«3D Sculpture»
This time, he concentrates the teaching
on the human face.
This book is accompanied
by three-dimensional models,
so that you can see and feel how
they were transformed into sculpture.
The right tools to use are clearly identified
and the author proposes drawings and models for your own projects.
These books are distributed
in many bookshops
and in specialized stores
by Diffusion Prologue Inc.
