Hi Alex! I uploaded my images just now. Could you provide short feedback? Based on your perception of my progress, which project / course could I try next? Thank you in advance!

Alexander Grabovetskiy (Administrator) July 5, 2020 at 10:14 am

You are doing a great job! I love the result!

Hi Alex,
I was only able to download 1 picture, is this enough for certification or can I email the others to you please. Feedback would be much appreciated 😁👍 good or bad😂

Found this leaf much more challenging that the Corinthian. The instructions were phenomenal, I just had trouble with the flow of the leaves and the overall shape. However, I found myself improving my skills.

Thanks again for all the content and am excited for the next project.

Alexander Grabovetskiy (Administrator) November 17, 2020 at 8:26 pm

Great job!

Alex,

Couldn’t figure out how to upload more than one photo. Wow, this project looks a lot better in person. The iPhone photos are brutal.

This project took longer than I expected. I had to tool up quite a bit to accomplish the extreme undercutting, which I love. There are quite a few undercuts that go all the way through. More than I intended. When I removed the last layer of background, it opened several.

I did this project in Butternut because that’s what I had and it’s finished with beeswax. It’s had many compliments from lay people as well as renowned artists. They love the undercutting and the flow of the lines. Easily my most favorite piece to date. I’m looking forward to larger and more complex pieces.

Next project is the Roman Acanthus.

Thank you for your most valuable instruction.

Best,

Alex Adams

It is better to upload one picture anyway

Cheryl Coupland December 6, 2020 at 1:02 pm

Enjoyed carving the Greek Acanthus Leaf and look forward to your feedback Alexander

Cheryl Coupland December 7, 2020 at 12:11 pm

Although I completed this workshop, For some reason it indicates 82% complete. 62/75 steps. I would like to wrap it up and show 100% complete.

Alexander Grabovetskiy (Administrator) December 7, 2020 at 12:17 pm

I checked all lessons as complete. You should be able to download the certificate now. It is important to check complete workshop level and video segment level. Great job, by the way!

Cheryl Coupland December 25, 2020 at 11:28 am

Hello Alexander,
I cannot see where to download the certificate!?!

Alexander Grabovetskiy (Administrator) December 25, 2020 at 11:43 am

My plan was to upload 1 picture from front and 4 pictures from every angle but I was only able to upload 1 picture from right angle 😅

Alexander Grabovetskiy (Administrator) August 14, 2022 at 9:10 am

It works.

Felipe Huibonhoa August 8, 2022 at 11:07 am

Hi Alex! I uploaded my picture. I found this project challenging. I had a difficult time. I think I need more tools but I love the project. What’s next? Is the Roman Acanthus leaf the best next one? Please advise.

Alexander Grabovetskiy (Administrator) August 14, 2022 at 9:11 am

Great job! You can definitely work on Roman Acanthus leaf now.

Kyunghwa Choi August 27, 2022 at 9:04 am

Hi, Alex, it’s a beautiful acanthus leaf but it was a challenge for me. With lack of tools it’s been hard time to finish it. It turned out I need some small back grounding tools and skill of sharpening tools.
But the #12 Pfeil knife was helpful to carve details much. Anyway I was enjoying while carving the project.

Sy Hammer January 21, 2023 at 9:47 am

Hey Alex!
I just finished carving this leaf and I’m really happy with the overall design. I’m open to criticism and I want to know if there are any mistakes that I haven’t spotted. Here are some that I know of: first off, the leaf in the top-right corner should be overlapping the swirling leaves to the left, but slowly over time they were clipped away from each other until they didn’t overlap. Another problem is that I’m missing a swirling leaf on the left because I brought the fourth one too low to the background and decided to get rid of it. Thinking back, I shouldn’t have done that, but instead I should’ve blended the heights of the swirling leaves to create a nice, smooth motion. Between me not having any back-bent tools and choosing a smallish block of wood, it was difficult to add the smaller details without wrecking the delicate top. In my next go-around, I’ll try to go bigger and also have a back-bent for the undercutting. All in all, I’m happy with it and looking forward to doing it again. Thank you for such a good course!
