Now we get to the high point... and the low point. I'm adding clay to the raised areas and carving it away where I want it to be recessed. Every time I do so the new addition (or subtraction) needs to be blended into the whole. This is probably the most difficult part of working on a bas-relief since this is where the foreshortening really comes in. A bas-relief is a strange thing, not entirely one dimensional like a drawing but not quite a three dimensional sculpture either.
