Anatomy Studies
A student had left a book called "On the Fabric of the Human Body, 1543" by the Renaissance anatomist, Andrea Versailles in my classroon. It kicked around for sometime before I paid attention to it. Once I did, I was really intriqued! What struck me was not only the accuracy and scientific discovery of his studies, but the range of emotion presented in the drawings. I created a series of drawings and paintings using this book as inspiration. I used my full model skeleton ("Zippy") as a model. I did quite a few charcoal and acrylic sketches, before coming up with the composition and style of this painting.
