Can You Count The Shades of Grey in Shep's "Twisted Venus"?

"Twisted Venus" is a Grisaille Painting.  A friend challenged us to paint a Grisaille painting, and since that's how I paint and teach, I had to take up the challenge. The idea is to paint something using only Black and White, in 2D to appear 3D and Round.  I think I've achieved that.

I like to suggest detail in a simplified way. Keep the brushwork loose for a fresh feel. And listening to Julee Cruise  while painting helps to create a mood.  (Remember her, from Twin Peaks?) Above all, remember, This is a journey.

Nude oil painting by Janice Warriner

Alone

8 by 8 oil on canvas

Why paint the nude figure?  I once heard or maybe read, that painting the nude is comparable to learning to paint the hand ...with a glove on.  It's a fantastic process to seeing the colors of the natural skin, with the light affects and the natural form and movement of the human body.   Where one might expect it to be more distressing, I find it to be naturally calming, I feel completely alone in my thoughts, and that is why I chose this title, Alone.

Lush, Nude oil painting by Janice Warriner

Lush~

8 by 8 oil on canvas mounted on hardboard

  My inspiration was the lighting on her very relaxed pose and the way it enhanced the line on the figure -  down across the breast over her hip and down the thigh.

What better thing do I have to do on Thanksgiving, but listen to Sheryl Crows version of Black Betty http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kum4O_fh0_E  take photos of naked people and paint nudes?!

Doing these 20 min. poses are a great way to capture quick gestures and put colors down quickly.  The lighting in the studio was dull yesterday (when I painted this) and I found the colors to be muted and grayer than usual.  Maybe the thicker paint is a result of my inner frustration or lack of satisfaction to the lighting?

Nude in Color

Taking the plunge in color today on the nudes, how appropriate, I just realized I've been listening to Barenaked ladies!  Too funny!!
