Painter Essentials 7 Auto Paint

For the last few months I’ve been tinkering with painting nudes in Painter Essentials 7. The auto paint setting is fairly easy to use when photo painting nudes but it wasn’t producing the results I wanted.

There then followed a lot of painting, layer blending, erasing and quite a lot of cursing to achieve a better result.

Thinking About Nude Photography

The nude female form elicits a number of, sometimes conflicting, potential responses from the viewer of an artwork. It can be seen as the depiction of a human being as a sex object, an anonymous manifestation of beauty or the nudity can be used to foreground aspects or themes within the picture. The most common criticism levelled at photography is that it simply imitates another art form.

Nude Portraits, Personal Space Nudes, Portfolios

Personal space nudes is a collection of nude portraits of women depicted at home. They are surrounded by treasured possessions and sometimes the detritus of real life. Stripping away clothing means the viewer only has the surroundings from which to glean information about the subject.
