Hello Andrew and new friends!! I've finally joined the course and am very excited! Also, happy to upload my first work done mostly with a wooden skewer, two other tools and monster clay that I already purchased some time ago. I found this oil based clay product very difficult to work with and smooth out, particularly when trying to refine the figure with details. I did try and use methylated spirits but it wasn't that helpful.. It is a copy of Rodin's 'The thinker' and it got me thinking a lot about how I really want to work hard at becoming a good female sculptor and so am looking forward to learning from you and being inspired by you all.

Hello, the sitting figure is my first and the lying down figure is my second attempt at sculpting a figure.
