Paintings of People

II have long prided myself in the ability to draw and paint the human face and figure. This is not an easy undertaking and does call for the ability to see relationships between shapes, and the juxtapose of light and dark. Knowledge of the anatomy is also crucial. Many of the following are of nudes and are drawn and/or painted using live models; it is the only way to observe the three dimensional qualities of the human figure.
