Sleeping beauty, finished piece

Here is the result after hours and hours of hard work. I just LOVE to sculpt..

Once I’m satisfied with the maquette, the real sculpture can begin.

Maquette for a new project

I usually don’t do maquettes because waterbased clay allows for any modification of the volumes, however this time I decided to try things on a maquette so I could have a reference as a basis.
The goal is not to get a good finishing, it is more an exploration into volumes, and the perfect moment to try different solutions.
