NUDIES (ONE):

this is the first figure painting i did this semester.

the value range is kind of dull, but there are some promising parts which i have detailed.

figure painting has greatly improved my skills as a "painter", although i do not consider myself a figure painter.

the human body is such a complex object in so many ways. most times, i feel like i'm not painting a human. instead, i like -- and prefer -- to see shapes (it's a lot easier that way).




thanks,
bradley

oh yeah -- it may be important to note that the model had her nipples tucked. i don't know... weird angle or something?

yeah, i just don't understand why she decided to cover her nipples that way. it seems uncomfortable, and it looks so strange in everyone's paintings of her. love the subtle purples and oranges in yours.

i honestly thought it was a man. finding out it is a woman just blew my mind.
