Nudes










Well, I have been drawing nudes for a long time now. I want to get their allure and their beauty if I can. No, it should not be hard work. Beauty is fluid, moving, quickly gone. You have to be very quick and yet accurate and it isn't difficult to understand or look at. Instant recognition.. Labour should not be obvious. I do hope that this is seen as light hearted yet serious - like any search for beauty should be. Favourite artists: Fragonard, Boucher. A little thought: In your office, have you ever seen people guiltily covering up a picture by Lucien Freud? And have you ever seen people blush over what they have just seen on those forbidden sites?
We artists have a lot of ground to make up, you know.
