Steven the dancer

Steven is my 3rd figurative sculpture. Through sculpture I have been learning the form and anatomy on a whole new level. I think it's really important to understand the anatomy if you are shooting for realistic figurative work. For each sculpture, I map out all the muscles In order to understand whats really going on under the surface, and it adds a real sense of form and movement.

This is an oil painting 8x10 of my vintage mannequin retro style. Available on etsy(rison916)

This is one of my favorite mannequins to paint as you can tell. She is a vintage 70's sitter. It's fun dressing her up and playing with fashion, hair styles and accessories.
