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.

Blondie Nude Oil Painting by Janice Warriner


Blondie
8 by 8 oil on canvas
To start my process, I usually draw with transparent red oxide paint right on the canvas.  It is transparent and erases easily with turp.  It also creates a nice warm undertone to the paintings, whether, figure, landsape or whatever.  Check my daily blog at http://www.oilsbyjanice.blogspot.com/

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.

Blushing


Blushing
8 by 8 oil on unmouted canvas primed with blue acrylic

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?
