Life size Bronze Portrait- Building volume

The first clay which is very firm, was used to support the newspaper.  This second clay is more playable and will be used for the outer surfaces. In the next image you will see how I added more newspaper over the green clay and then the white clay on top.  You may wonder why I use a core of newspaper.  The reason is because of weight and materials.  I estimate I will be using about 40-50 pounds of clay when finished.
