Thanks, David! I may go back to try to redo the eyes rather than start something new. I didn’t give the drawing the time it needed, and posted it anyway, but I was tired after a long day of doing therapy, drawing between cancellations. That’s my excuse, and I’m sticking with it, lol, so I’ll ignore the fact that some artists can knock that kind of piece out so much better, live in 45 minutes. I still have to even work on the flowers, so we’ll see. Thanks for the shading compliments. I have a long way to go with that, too, but hopefully 84 more days of effort will help.
Thanks again for your feedback.
Best,
Beth
Yes, I gave it a shot after a friend asked if I would try to make one for her. I ran out of a light brown clay I was working with, but fortunately that was right at the time that I needed to do her jewelry, robe, and glasses, and I happened to have a chocolate brown clay that I made those from. Since I had two shades of clay going anyway, then I decided to finish it off with white porcelain clay for a scarf. Since then, I’ve learned that I may have to replace the white porcelain with white stoneware clay because of a difference in shrinkage, although there’s nothing structural to worry about with the scarf, so I don’t know if that would really matter. Too much information, right? Anyway, I’m curious to see what the different clays look like fired together and if it looks okay after being bisqued, I may just put a matte glaze or spray on rather than try to paint it.
