Steve: Male nude model

Steve: oil

Steve: charcoal pencil
I also paint & draw male models.   Steve  is another excellent model who posed nude. He has a serious gaze which I felt I captured in these images.  The top piece is a monochromatic oil painting. I used only Transparent Oxide Red with maybe just a touch of Viridian in the last session.  Although I love color it's good to force yourself to paint using just value. Both images were created alla prima in one 3 hour session.
