Montessori Project Clay approval

I recently had the opportunity to have a client meeting with the lovely couple that commissioned the repair for a sculpture that they donated in memory of their daughter. Joining them was a friendly representative of the school and an artist in his own right.
The school that the sculpture is in front of is a Montessori school that their daughter loved. Unfortunately, the school was recently renovated and lost the resin 'lens' of the sculpture (a large steel profile of a girl with glasses) and since the original sculptor has passed and left no mold of the original artwork, I've been tasked to do my rendition of Maria Montessori in resin.
This meeting was to approve the clay portrait that will be coated in resin to create the final lens with her image inside of it.
I took this project on to broaden my skillset and I learned a lot with the help of a couple of mentors who advised me on elements for realistic portrait sculpture.
We had a lot of fun during the meeting talking about art, jewelry, furniture construction and welding together rat rods.
