The Picture Hanger - Video

So, this is a drawing from a photograph I took 20 some odd years ago. It is done on a Canson sheet of paper that may be 30 years old. I am using Stabillo pencils. Most of the nudes I have painted are from great, models I have photographed myself.
This work is titled "The Picture Hanger", the reason will be obvious when viewed in person. Many small details and nuances are revealing themselves as I work along. I have been working on several charcoal, graphite, drawing projects I will post those at some point.
The art of the nude. The nude in art is I think the greatest challenge. I think humans spot physical defects in people for reasons of procreation. This ability works in art as well. I can do a landscape painting and the viewer would never know the accuracy unless they were standing in that place at the time and season.
I am trying to do paintings, and drawings and photographs at an increasing pace. I am using oil paint, acrylic paint, charcoal, Aquarelle, and soon fountain pens and inks.
My name is Ricardo Calzadilla and my web site address is https://www.calzadillaart.com I love to paint, I enjoy the feel of spreading paint with the brushes.
