STANDING PATTERDALE TERRIER SCULPTURE

“This dog statue was commissioned of Oscar, a ten-year-old Patterdale boy who was bright and loyal. The commissioner wanted him in an alert handsome standing pose as a gift for her partner. In the midst of covid, I didn’t have the chance to visit him, but I enjoyed sculpting such a handsome boy!”

This bronze Standing Patterdale Terrier bears Tanya’s signature and unique edition number. Your casting of the rescue dog sculpture will be personally approved and will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

10% of the proceeds from this bronze dog sculpture support ‘The Dogs Trust’ animal charity.

Which Material to Choose

Bronze Resin – bronze metal powder is mixed with a resin to create the appearance of foundry bronze metal, but is more affordable and lightweight.

Foundry Bronze  – refers to the poured molten metal that is cast solid or hollow, depending on size, at a bronze foundry (using the traditional lost wax process). It is more robust and will appreciate in value.

Sculpture Description, Bases & Fixings

This loyal Standing Patterdale Terrier statue is sculpted by artist Tanya Russell, who is well known for her life-like wildlife and animal sculptures. Tanya has a passion for improving the welfare of the animals she sculpts and 10% of all proceeds from the Patterdale statue will go to the ‘Dogs Trust’, a charity that provides sanctuary and rehoming services for dogs in the UK and also lobbies for welfare policy changes all over the world.

The Patterdale Terrier is an open edition sculpture, and your piece will be a superb recreation of the original bronze sculpture from a mould.

How The Sculpture Was Made

When I model animals I try where possible to find examples from life. I also use many photos – often hundreds – showing the animal (and other animals of the breed or species). This helps me sculpt their anatomical features. I study the way that hair, fur or skin lies over their muscles or alters their shape, and their different poses and attitudes.

The Standing Patterdale Terrier sculpture was modelled in wax, over a steel and aluminium armature for support. After the Standing Patterdale Terrier statue was finished a rubber mould was taken, with ‘keys’ placed in the rubber to ensure proper positioning. Then a shell of fibreglass was applied, to protect the mould and support it during the casting process.
