work progress; Contemporary Decapitated Roman/Greek Sculpture portraits

This is my first painting project for the Fine art degree programme.

In this project, I intent to study the roman/greek scuplture and convert them into abstractical forms, high colour usage and complicity.

Of what once take days, months and years to sculpt,
my ideas are to paint them, in mere minutes.

charcoal use to capture gesture and figure.


Rough pastel on A4 study size. 10 minutes sketch in colour.

Final pice, In oil paints on canvas.
