Nude Model 3

Same model and pose; the value study only took me half of the nine-hour modeling session. This time I wanted to work on an even larger scale, which meant I had to crop the model to a size that would fit the paper. His hand and knee were wonderfully knobbly, well-lit and in good places for compositional foci, and I didn't want to do a detailed portrait of his face when I knew I'd be displaying the nude. All of this added up to WANG in the very center of the canvas.

This continues to amuse me, as an example of just how oblivious to sexuality I get when I am thinking as an artist.
