Можно нанести слой пластилина на картон и затем создавать изображения, выбирая в нужных местах пластилин до поверхности картона.
My version:
It is possible to place a layer of plasticine on cardboard and then create images, taking plasticine in needed places to the surface of the cardboard.
I know my version doesn't sound right, but I just don't understand the до construction at the end of the sentence in this context.
Does the artist have to spread the plasticine on the cardboard? Taking pieces off of the surface of the cardboard? Turning the carboard into a bunny rabbit and pulling it out of a hat? I got nothin!
