I plan to make more 3D pieces for my exhibition in November 2020, time to start working on this lady. With the help of a fellow artist, I was able to sort out the stand which was bent, and now she can stand upright. This leaves two important decision. First, I am not a fan of how her left arm looks. It does not fit well in the socked except for a specific position. Its almost as if this arm does not belong to this mannequin. My solutions are to remove the arms, glue the arm in the one spot that looks good which will make it harder to storages and travel, or make some kind of scarf to cover up the shoulders partially. I am leaning to either removing the arms or keeping them for now and decide after I painted them. The second decision is how to fix the small areas that are damaged. I'm not too fond of the idea of having to sand the mannequin down to its base layer and have fibreglass dust all over the place, but I don't know if there are other ways to fix these areas. Right now, I think the best option is first to see how it looks if I cover everything in a couple of layers of gesso. In a way, having these small scars does give the mannequin a bit of character. I would love to hear your thought and any tips on how to approach painting a mannequin❔❓❔❓❔❓❔❓ (at De Werf) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDrkXvqn4f_/?igshid=1rip8c5qsjt5s
