This is a good lesson, but the ridiculous amount of pop up ads made it extremely difficult to see the whole picture. I really hate those damn things.

Now we are going to start using these to cut some kind of even slabs here. I told you before that to work with clay; the best is to use this kind of surface. Like a drop cloth or some kind of tissue or textile tissue. Because if you don't the clay sticks so fast, in marble, in plastic, in wood, then the best way to do that is using the drop cloth. I makes it easier to cut the moist clay and to work with it on this surface. We're going to cut 3, I guess. Then we have 1, 2, and 3. Put the extra clay here. Put this away. Now I want to show you different ways to build a teenager's head. For example I have two examples that are different and both of them are fantastic. This is a rematise study of a head of a teenager and this is from the romantic sculpture era and it's absolutely gorgeous, fabulous. Of course they are totally different, both are great. Then I'm going to do something that probably will be closer to that one then this one because of the short time period. To make this smooth finishing you have to do a lot of work. Anyway, we'll see the results. I think you will like it.
