Resting sculpture
Hi Everyone,
I worked on my resting woman sculpture today. Below are some progress pics of how she looks now. I’ve added a bow onto her dress. Other than that, I put more of the fabric on (still more to go on that) and finished her hair.
This was supposed to be a just for fun sculpture but once again, I find myself putting more into it than expected. In contrast, for the woman holding the kitty, I spent just a couple of hours and kept it simple. But with this one, I’ve gotten attached and I’m enjoying doing the extra detail work. But still she isn’t perfect but that’s okay.
I may end up doing more of these type of sketches (easier and less costly to cast in bronze) because they enable me to get right to the fun part. Anatomy is the most difficult so when I get past that and on to the clothing and hair, I’m a happy girl. 
Have a great day and thanks for watching,
~Tamara

It’s coming along very nicely with the hair and the clothes, Tamara. Really turns out great. Just one thing I’m wondering about: you probably didn’t change anything in her facial expression, but at the moment she seems a bit closer to sadness and desperation than to a calm and deliberative mood. I honestly can’t say where I get this impression from and perhaps it’s just me judging from the pictures. Things may look completely different in reality.
Anyway, great development so far, your sculptures are getting better and better. Big thumbs up!
Hi Kurt,
I’ll take a look when I work on her today but in real life, as far as I recall, she looks like complete calm and peace. I love fresh looks and thoughts because these have given me so much insight so keep em’ comin whenever you think of them. Thanks again.
It’s funny that a quick sculpture can be thought of as better than the ones I took a year on but it’s the liveliness and energy of the quick sculpts that is so much better. These type of sculpts teach me how to capture the emotion and not get bogged down with unneccessary details of aiming for perfect anatomy. Live and learn, that’s for sure!
