Dane Paul Portrait in Clay- continued

After the demos in class, I brought the sculpture home and worked about 8 hours, two different days.  I focused on the features.  Blogging is a great way for me to see what I have done and to think about where I want to go with the sculpture because after working for hours on something, it is hard to see it.  After having a rest from it and looking at it in a photo and talking about it, it is easier to evaluate.  Here's where it is at this time.

DANE-week 5

The past few weeks I have been demonstrating different aspects of portrait anatomy in clay.  Most of the demonstrations have been about 15-20 minutes where I talk about the simple structure of the head, features and hair.  This is the sculpture as it left the classroom.  This clay is now in my studio, where I will work on it and finish it in the next few weeks.  Please check back to view the process.  I may slip in a few paintings as I go.
