The head.

We are spending a lot of time on the tigers head.

The foam still needs more detail and I spend a great deal of time
carving and sanding the foam. 

Foundry wax is brushed onto the foam. This gives the clay
something to hold onto and makes the removing of the clay
much easier.  The clay that is going on this cat has been used
in many different projects.  

Each part of the anatomy is looked at very
carefully.  Because this sculpture is so large
and the face is seen from a distance, an artist
must know how to exaggerate features so that
they can read when it is complete, in bronze
and from a distance. 

THe face is taking a tremendous amount of
time, but it is what everyone is going to be
looking at.
