Roe Deer Fawn Sculpture
Making of wild animal statues – Roe deer Sculpture Blog by Joel
From Inspiration to Exhibition
Inspiration
Starting from the idea and the research
Roe Deer Fawn Lying Down
The Roe Deer Fawn – lying down
First clay and working to the topline of the back
Long hours in the studio – weeks > months
Roe Deer Fawn Standing
And the armature for the young Roe Deer Fawn Standing
Here the Standing Faun with the first clay layers
Leg wire attached but not yet trimmed
Many hours of work and study and we have the look of the young deer unfolding
Remember the inspiration
Oh those legs!
Ready to go
I love the way statues look different in different light and situations – and here a glimpse of the effect with its shadow.
The moulds were complex and took time to build and fix – then the founder’s wax was poured – and checked and worked on.
Into the Bronze pair set happily together
If you prefer the simply classic look of bronze (without colour patination) please contact JOEL to arrange your preference.
