Perhaps you’re a water clay lover and want to use WED (for Walter Elias Disney) clay or other water-based clay for your sculpting. Just beware of the pros and cons before starting so that you don’t wind up screaming bloody murder when your clay dries out and cracks into chunks or is so wet it resembles a California mudslide. Lightly spritzing your clay with a bit of water from a small spray bottle or using a mixture of water and glycerin will keep your clay nice and workable.
An advantage of water clay over oil clay is its ability to take texture stamps more easily with less pressure. You do need to be careful not to press so hard as to alter the shape of your sculpture when you press the stamp into the clay. If the clay is too wet, the stamp will simply make a smear; just when your clay starts to begin to feel leathery is a great time for carving and shaping your design and for using texture stamps. Water clay is also very easy to work with quickly because it is so soft. A design can be roughed out in a relatively short amount of time. If you are relatively new to sculpting, I suggest you practice with WED clay because it is easy to work with. Try roughing up some anatomy studies in WED before moving on to the harder, more difficult-to-work-with oil clay.
