Recommended for art models, artists, and workshop leaders. When the artist and model are on the same page, the creative collaboration is more productive and inspiring. |
The human form is arguably the most difficult subject for an artist to render. Capturing a spiritual or emotional quality is even more challenging. I greatly admire those who have mastered this craft. A variety of artistic styles are represented on this site, ranging from gesture sketches to oil paintings. I hope you enjoy viewing the artwork. I enjoyed collaborating with the artists. I'm always curious about how they will interpret a pose.
My Perspective on Artistic Nudes
The nude figure is a timeless image, without fashion clues to define the setting in a given time period. With no uniform to define the social class or employment role, nudity also represents honesty and authenticity – the naked truth – and one’s true self without any façade. Nudes in nature portray mankind living in harmony with the environment. While some people associate nudity exclusively with a sexual context, I don't share this mindset. Consider the wholesomeness of Norman Rockwell skinny dipping scenes. Think of fine art nudes by Michelangelo, Auguste Rodin, and Maxfield Parrish. Could anyone seriously question the dignity of The Thinker?
