I went to the National Gallery of Scotland and did some sketching of their bronze and marble sculptures. One really caught my eye called Arritino- here's my sketch
I really liked the pose and the way the figure was looking up into the light. I got home and worked this study up in charcoal and conte crayon
This is quite small at 8x8 inches- think I might work up a bigger study or jump straight into an oil painting
