This is one of my favorite pieces so far. I wanted to create a face because for some reason I just love over complicating things. I chose Van Gogh as my master artist because I've always loved his art and he was an impressionist so I wouldn't have to make this super realistic. I've always had a fascination with drawing people, so sculpting them is even more fun. To start making the face, I made an armature out of newspaper and laid a slab of clay over it. I then began to add and subtract from the clay until it began to look like a human being. This took...quite a while but I eventually created a likeness of Vincent. After firing, I decided to paint my piece for the sake of details. The piece pictured above isn't my finished piece (I'm almost done) but I am still very happy with how it turned out.
