Simonson Paints Jefferson Nude - Video

In 2022, Simonson flew to Rio to photograph Jefferson, a handsome young Brazilian. Jefferson modeled for the artist in several locations, one of them Pura Vida, which is the artist’s preferred Rio lodging. In this video you’ll watch the artist turn one of the photographs from that session into an acrylic painting. You can skip through the timelapse video or watch every step of it, depending on where you are and what you’re focusing on in your artistic journey. However you choose to view it, it’s bound to entertain and inspire you. (This video contains nudity so it's censored for YouTube. An uncensored version is available in the Members-Only section of the Simonson online galleries at douglassimonson.com.)
