Okay i never done paper mache before so well it be okay if i did this?Use wire to sculpt the maskThen paste the newpaper around the wire then put clay over the newspaper so it could look smooth and easier to paint?
you can but clay is heavy so maybe the wire with the paper mache will flatten out(depends on how thick and strong the wire is) Instead of wire use aluminum foil it a lot easierPut the aluminum foil on your face and mold it around your face to get the shape then paste the newspaper on it! The clay will be to heavy for the aluminum foil thoughI don't think you have to use clay; the newspaper is pretty easy to paint onhope this helps!:)
