Nice to see you back here if only for a brief visit. This is a superb nude: a pose that is contained, powerful and almost sculptural, and a fantastic use of light and shadow. The result is a timeless work of art. Bravo!

Excellent! reminds me of Rodin.

Beautiful process too.

Hi Raymond, this is a very beautiful nude portrait.

What stands out is the quality of "escutural" beauty, of her toned muscles, it is like if we were staring at a classic sculpture.

I find constructive that there is always something to accompany a nude, like an extra, that it's not only the fact of not wearing any clothes and I'd like to notice here:

- The proper use of light, which helps to define more her bodily beauty

- And my favorite detail: her thoughtful gesture expressed in her hand over her head.

This subtle gesture conveys a plus which leads us to think about, while enjoying it.

I'd not have used a texture in the final presentation in this image, but it's just a matter of personal taste. However, very well accomplished here.

 

Congratulations, kindest regards, Laura.
