Artist taking risks: I started off making an elephant head which didnt work out and ended up looking like a walrus. I went on the internet and looked up pictures of walruses and went from there hoping that it would work. I also painted it with brown watercolor which is a medium i've never used on clay before. The water color worked out really well and gave it more of a skin-like texture. Sometimes taking risks can be scary but I felt that it was beneficial in the end. Artist solve problems: Like I mentioned before, I started off making an elephant, but I wasnt happy with the way it looked. I made jokes about it looking like a walrus, and ended up deciding to make it into one. It accurately represented a walrus head, even though that wasnt my initial intention.
