Sculpture Commission

Well, I've been asked to reproduce a sculpture from one of Picasso's works. I have been given the image and dimensions. I spent today mapping out the design onto marine plywood. As the reference images I had were  one dimensional I chose to make a 1-1 scale of the sculpture from polystyrene to make sure I understood how it all went together. Finally I had made some decisions that lessened the possibility of messing up. Like a jigsaw puzzle it all fitted together nicely. Tomorrow (weather permitting), I shall cut out the shapes with my jigsaw and apply a sealant/undercoat. The approximate height of the said sculpture will be 700-750mm. I will keep you updated as I progress.
