Nude Painting - How Watercolor Makes a Difference

                                                           Resting


This is a pose that I took out of Lucian Freud's collection of Nude Painting. I fell in love with his painting and with how he is able to capture the nude body.

I decided to paint it in watercolor and I think I gave the painting a new feel and a new personality. 

Watercolor is a wonderful medium and using it for the nude body is innovative and fun.

Here I am using watercolor and watercolor pencils as highlights. Of course on 100% high quality cotton paper.
