    Charles Russell

    In 1882 Charlie landed a job as a wrangler on a cattle drive. He wrangled for eleven years, and while he was not known for being a good roper or rider, Russell established a local reputation as the affable (some said bone lazy) cowboy who loved to draw and knew how to tell a great story. As a self-taught artist, his sketches were crude but reflected an observant eye, a feel for animal and human anatomy, a sense of humor and a flair for portraying action - all hallmarks of Russell's mature art. Throughout his years on the range, he witnessed the changing of the West. He saw the bitter winter of 1886-87 end the cattleman's dominion on the northern plains. The days of free grass and unfenced range were ending and, for Russell, the cowboy life was over by 1893.

    Casting Method

    1. The original sculpture is created through extensive research. Many hours of changing and refining are required to get a finished work in clay or wax. This can and often does takes months of work.
    2. Flexible molds must be made of the original. This is done by placing a layer of clay around the original sculpture. A plaster support mold is made around this layer of clay. Then the plaster shell and clay are removed. When the plaster shell is replaced around the sculpture without the clay, the de-aired rubber can then be poured into the area that used to be filled with clay.
    3. Wax is melted in a pot to about 190 degrees, and is then poured into the mold, left for one or two minutes and then poured out. After a cooling period, the hollow wax duplicate can be removed. Any sculpture cast in bronze that is over one inch thick must be cast hollow. Thicker pieces cast solid will distort badly as the hot metal cools.
    4. The wax reproduction at this point is chased (flaws, pinholes, etc. are touched up). It is then cut apart or has windows cut into it to insure thorough drying of the slurry, the ceramic shell mixture that is later applied.
    5. The wax sculpture and its parts (cutouts, base, etc.) are fitted to a wax tree. The tree is a network of sprues and vents (wax limbs and branches) to channel the metal flow and eliminate air pockets.
    6. This vented sculpture is then invested (dipped) in ceramic shell slurry. Sand is applied to the slurry. It is then left to dry in a temperature and humidity controlled room. This process of applying slurry and sand is repeated 8 to 10 times to build shell thickness.
