Asia Del Bonis - Woman Nude


I'm not sure of the artist who captured this woman through watercolor.. but the artist had both control (to be able to handle water color paint- it has a mind of its own) and expression (they weren't afraid to use bold strokes.) I do not see many nude water color paintings.. why? My guess is that the human body is so unique that a painter wants to use oils/acyrlics in order to replicate such precise details on the figure that is modeling. I personally like this artist's use of subtle color and soft lines and shadows. I like the pose that is captured. The figure is mysterious- not too much is made obvious. I think a lot of time, less is more in figure drawing and painting.
