I worked at home this week and decided to try a new approach, to coil-build the hair as a separate bowl shape and apply it to the head once it had hardened a bit.

Taking a fresh look at the head since last week I thought there were some small faults which I could remedy and so I spent the morning developing the features a bit more.

I spent most of today refining the features and trying to get the fullness into the soft flesh areas!

I have done three little colour sketches for larger paintings I am planning to do shortly!

I have signed up for a course of 10 week workshops in clay modelling at The Phoenix Studio in Towersey.
