Rhodesian Ridgebacks & Lion - clay to bronze sculpture by dog artist, Caesar Yanez

This blog will cover my Rhodesian Ridgebacks & Lion bronze work-in-progress clay sculpture. I will use Chavant NSP hard - to sculpt the dogs and lion. Once the clay composition is completed molds will be fabricated in order to produce the wax positives for the foundry work. The goal is to have this bronze composition completed in 2010. The bronze will consist an African male lion fending off 2 Rhodesian Ridgebacks.

Experimenting with plastic models, macramé, wood, ceramic, charcoal, oils, acrylics, wax, resin, oil clay; bronze has allowed him to hone his craft.
