Would you or have you ever posed nude for an artist - a good one?
Would you have a preference for a male or female artist?
If you have, what was the experience like for you? Were you pleased with the result?
Would you want to show the finished product to friends? Would you display it in your home or elsewhere?
If you could, would you want to draw and paint other nude females?
Do you think the reason people want to paint you naked is just to get you naked? Or can you appreciate it for the artistic merit?
And, yes, I have painted lots of nude women, but mostly it has been for educational/ professional purposes and in that environment. So, no, I am not soliciting candidates here (because someone is bound to think I am). Just curious how women for whom this is not a normal part of their life feel about it.
nudes have been painted for thousands of years
the human body is marvelous
i would be honored to be painted by an artist of reputable character
but the guy who does paintings of elvis on black velvet...ah no
i think there is a similar thread elsewhere in the forums...
i love well-drawn and painted nudes.... male and female... i have always been my own nude model and have paintings and pastels of various parts of my body... just to see what will happen... of course, if something happens to me, i have a friend who will come destroy those pieces.... i am not a master... but i have made money doing commission work and selling some other work... mostly still life....
i am not sure i would let anyone else paint me.... it is an interesting question...
I have posed for artists and had people pose for me
I posed nude for a woman getting her masters in fine art - painter - honestly, I got an 100% erection for a good amount of time
I have been told by several Artist that they find painting of the nude body not to be highly sexual or erotic for the Artist. Not being an artist I will have to take their statement at face value.
I have been the model for several painters, photographers over the years and for the model it can be highly sexual and cause her to demand satisfaction.
Since I am equally attracted to both males and females, it does not matter the gender of the artist.
There is a very revealing Portraiture of me in my husbands home office and he shows it to people at every opportunity. Since he is so proud of the results so am I.
