Quick Study Maquette

Love working from life and am trying to get more movement and a looser, fresher feel to my pieces lately. Tedious commissions have gotten to be a real bore.

This is a little maquette gesture I made in about 2 hours on Saturday in preparation for a larger bust study that will also be made from life.

Modeled in polymer clay, head is only about 2 inches tall. Good to do a maquette first to work out the whole form - gesture, planes, and angles in the round - before translating that quick inspiration into a larger, slower piece.
