An observational painting referencing my own photograph; this piece explores the warmth of the female body through colour and form. The warm colour palette reflects the heightened emotions of female comfortability, in addition to the soft brush strokes evoking a peaceful atmosphere reflecting female poise. The female figure being blissfully unaware of the audience, portrays true confidence and a state of comfort, mirroring what the audience should naturally feel when sitting in their own skin.

An observational painting based on my own photograph; this piece captures natural female modesty. The nude colour palette and exaggeration of light and dark, accentuates the element of realism in depicting a female’s smooth skin while evoking a calm atmosphere. Rather than her demure nature depicting concealment, the delicate placement of her hand across her body denotes acceptance and self-love; the appreciation of the female body.

The soft brush strokes depict a calm atmosphere highlighting the smooth flesh of a woman in acceptance of her skin.
