Nose Job for Oxford the soft coated wheaten terrier

In addition to applying the second coat of clay to the dog sculpture I decided to add his nose. The nose is basically complete and fully detailed, I will work the facial hair around the nose later.

Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier receives the second coat of clay

Today I applied the second coat of clay; while focusing on the client's request to give Oxford the wheaten terrier his full show coat. Areas on the back side of the neck and chest were built up to give it the correct profile.

In comparing the sculpture to the image below, I may have added too much clay on the chest, as well as t he back of the neck. I will wait for the client to instruct me on how much to shave off.

Before, I forget... The clay is Chavant NSP Hard and I purchased it from one of Chavant's clay distributors, AFASupplies.com. They are a new online sculptor art supply store.
