Steve, The trouble with Photographs is You set the Scene,Click,and thats it,where as an Artist "Makes the Scene" using his skill and undoubted talent.That can never be captured on a Camera.It must be wonderful to be able to do that. **M**.

THANKS CAZ

I HAV BEEN WORKING ON A LARGE SKETCH FOR SONS MATE

LADIES CHANGING ROOM,,LOL

STEVES WORK IS EXCELLENT

RIGHT THE REASON FOR THE FIRST THREAD
A FRIEND HAS COMENTED ABOUT HOW IM
ALWAYS IN HER WORDS DRAWING MUCKY PICTURES,


WHEN I SHOWED HER OLD MASTERS AND
ART PHOTO'S

WELL THE OLD NUDES

GET THIS ARE DEAD SO CANT BE ERR RUDE

I like both, the old masters are beautiful, but some of the modern photography is excellent.

Merlin... he will need a BIG canvas LOL

Tina Marie, You Should Visit "Steve" instead.He paints "Nudes" and is no doubt looking for "Models".**M**.:o)))>xx.

never been to Paris - been to France but always wanted to visit Paris - must make an effort one day soon I think - time is running out!

I'm excited Ann ..yes.

are you really visiting the Louvre next week? Lucky you if you are!

I will study these pics next week on my trip to The Louve

Not sure i aggree totaly

As an artist i draw and paint nudes have done since my days at uni

but some of the real great modern camera artists like John Hedgcoe do some stunning work

its all about the pose and setting weather it be on canvas or photo paper

just my thoughts

Sxx

There was a Programme on TV some time ago about this subject, Photographers tried to Reproduce the old Paintings on film with Models,It turned out that they could not get anywhere near the Class, style or Sublety of the Originals.**M**. Ps. On a Personal Level, I much prefer the real thing to Photo,s or Paintings. :o)))>

NOW I LIKE ART PHOTOGRAPHY

BUT SEENING IM A VERY FULL AND

ROUND.
JUST DONT LIKE THE DARK LOOK
BRIGHT AN LIGHT I LIKE

Wasn't there a story about the Mona Lisa that she was originally painted in a white shift to signify that she had just had a baby?

I put a note on the other thread about another painting where the model was showing signs of breast cancer (I can't remember the name of it).

I like the nude cherubim - they remind me of my son when he was little but had rolls of fat on top of his rolls of fat!

A bit like me now - I could show those reuben raphael chicks a thing or two!

Although the Masters nudes all looked very similar, they were more realistic in shape... as I said earlier... In my world anyway. :o))

I Agree Ann
not that im into Art very much .
Rosex

perhaps that's why Mona looks a bit down in the mouth - cold probably

Am I right in thinking that tests showed that the Mona Lisa was originally painted as a nude? I have to agree with Ann that the paintings by the old masters are much classier and superior than even the best of the modern day photographers

Me too ~Ann .
Everytime.
