It's possible to approach the painting of a nude in the same way as one would an undulating landscape whereby you use line and tone to delineate the form. Painting is an exercise of pushing back and pulling forward with colour. Plump bodies are far more interesting to paint than skinny ones.

I bet you can trace your ancestors right back to Derbyshire in England ,a small village named ...Clown ( actually it has an E on the end but that spoils the effect or affect ) .
must be because you're all still the same who were shipped off to

overcame their past through willingness and effort. You chavs are
still barbaric subhumans by choice.
