NUDE!!!

Printer-friendly version

I have posted only one "Nude" on this website--a little watercolour study--but it seems to get a lot of attention, judging by the number of hits. What's going on out there in Cyberland?  Who's trolling for what, I wonder--and why? I love life drawing, and the challenge of giving life to lines (or lines to life?), of learning to see how anatomy works, how muscles and bone and sinew behave in their complexity, in action or in repose, and two hours or so of concentrated drawing in a studio session with a model can pass very quickly. Sometimes it is enough to capture just an impression of movement, a line that speaks. Or the impression of a body at rest; or a reflective pose, the model seemingly alone in the light. Whatever the circumstance, the "nude" represents a moment, a life: a private moment shared with the artist and, ultimately, with the viewers. So I wonder who these viewers are out there, and what their response is to this private moment so exposed. You are looking over my shoulder, but what do you see?
