Throughout time, artists have always been fascinated and inspired by the nude figure. As a subject, the human form presents certain challenges. Some knowledge of anatomy and how a body moves is required to prevent static and unnatural images. Your course of study begins with a look at a selection of nudes by some of history's most important painters. The works shown display a wide range of styles and will surely fire your imagination as you get to work on your own projects using pencils, pastels, watercolor, acrylics, and oils. From realistic images that highlight every mark and curve to simple celebrations of the naked human form, you will enjoy focusing on this age-old and most natural of topics.
