I know there are many here that promote photo-realistic cast works, I just like to see more style, rather than just copying reality. We have cameras.
Good copying, tho.

Lon,
This is not photo-realist photo copying, but a basic exercise like learning the scales in piano. Degas and Sargent studied this way and they were quite individualistic to say the least. This was the basic foundation of the French ateliers taught many master painters.
She is not just copying reality, but training her eye on a non-moving object that has been done by a master, this, I think is a cast from Michelangelo's-"The Slave".
Many artists today have 'style', but not mastery.
