The photo above is of one piece from a series of smaller studies I am developing. This particular head was done by piecing together parts of previous studies, so it was not based off of one model but an accumulation of my experiences sculpting past models. The clay I used for this work is a smooth terra cotta mix that I bought before I found Leslie's Ceramic and their range of sculpture clays. Below are earlier images of the same piece from my first studio.
This last photo shows what happened when I tried to preserve the wet clay on an unvarnished wood surface. I think the mold came from the wood because I haven't had the problem since I started storing my smaller pieces on a different surface.
