I'm trying my hand at sculpture, after having spent the last several years working primarily in paint, and collage. I'm embarking on this effort in clay, the type that doesn't dry out until you want it to. I am really wanting to bring some of the images I've paintd to life in a 3rd dimensional way. I find though, that I get so distracted, and one brilliant idea turns into another, and, ultimately, after hours of work, I still have a blank blob of clay, though exceedingly intriguing adventures while ending up back where I started. With that said, I'm wondering -- fellow artists -- did you have a hard time focusing? Is there something you might recommend as a starting point? With painting and sketching, it's all a rather quick start to finish process. Not this though, and I really, truly want to be able to have a finished product. I feel like I'm doing a disservice to the face, the form, with my humble attempts at realism. Any ideas? thanks so much!
