Snow Leopard
Traditionally, sculpture requires the artist to create a complex armature around which they build up the clay or wax model. This armature is built to reflect both the position and proportions of the subject. Only once this technical (but time consuming) process is complete can the artist focus on the details and finish, which capture the essence of the subject.
