sculpt with clay

[borin]

Actually I have already worked with much larger statues, but I have never worked military subjects over 100 mm. Here I want to do an experiment, I have no idea what will come out; Even for me who have experience, it's a total jump in the dark. The subject I chose is a Napoleonic one, the one I love most, I Will work It on 30 cm...
Let's discover It together...

This Is a ceramica red clay, this Is an experiment for me, next will be with caolino: porcelain.
It will be fired, and paited too, but some parts will be made with metal: botons, buckles, sword etc..

I must say, for something that started out in the dark you sure got the attitude right.
Will be following from now on.

Nice to see a traditional sculpt rather than a computer generated 3d pile of resin.

Hi Stefano

This is mesmerising to see the clay develop into the piece we see in the latest , the forms there in all areas ( do like the way you’ve done the cuffs )

Looking forward to seeing this baked and the details being added

Happy sculpting
