Painting My Mannequin

Hello! 

At my desk in the studio

 Update! which will be mainly shown through photos as I think they are reasonably self explanatory. After priming my mannequin I then began to paint it, which is a very long process as I use a small fine paint brush in order to achieve the amount of intricacy I wish for. 

Arm

I finished painting both arms and then moved onto painting the torso of the mannequin

I started to paint the torso

I took a few photos of the mannequin in front of a wall I had painted to see what effect I would get with the pattern on pattern.

This is the arms and torso assembled and almost finished in my studio space.

My aim is to use the mannequins as part of a sculpture. I plan on distorting the figures and began doing a series of quick sketches to work out different ideas for the forms to take. I want to deform the shape of the body somehow. 

Here are a couple of the quick sketches. 

A few more images of the mannequin. 

My next step is to finish painting the full mannequin, and then begin experimenting with distorting the figure.
