I was still not happy with the face and neck so I've adjusted it with some side lighting. The right has been beefed up slightly because I felt it was a little bit weak.
Below are some photos of a small clay portrait I did in stone-ware clay that was fired to a high temperature to set it. The fired head has been mounted on a small wooden plinth. To imitate the look of antique 'Bronze' I've first coated the head in a gold paint, then a darker tone of the that same paint. Added a black into the mix and an onyxite wax vanish colour. The effect comes out darker and browner than seen in these photos. I want to start creating head portraits in either clay or resin moulds. This head is just an experiment.
