This Love Your Body painting was inspired by this post on tumblr. I just love the pose, her body, and how she is pinching at her rolls. It’s fantastic and beautiful, I only hope I did the photo justice. This is again simulated watercolor using ArtRage on my iPad.

I was much too tired to upload this last night.
Legs, part of the Love Your Body series but focusing on legs. Inspired by this photo on tumblr. I just love the abstract shapes that I saw in this study. The way the light hit the curves. This is another painting on my iPad via ArtRage.

Another Love Your Body study, I looked for a photo that would have some different proportions from my other models in this series. I used the waster color settings on my iPad (in ArtRage, this app replicates traditional tools better than anything out there IMO) and it makes me wish I had layers when painting on my watercolor block. I may turn this into a physical watercolor, I’m not sure yet. Still, I’m liking this, I think my favorite part is her tummy. iPad painting.
Original Photo Source
I first saw this post on tumblr by user flushedskin and knew I wanted to paint something with this as a guide.
I first worked on a study on my ipad and then tonight painting this with watercolors. I had to modify it a bit since the original photo had a hand and phone in the way, but I think I did all right. I ended up using my husband posting for me to figure out where the shoulder should be.
I love how soft this looks, like the coloring too. There is something about the human form that I just love painting.
This summer I painted this watercolor of different people and sizes swimming and having fun. I love the idea of being comfortable in your skin and enjoying summer.
This is a watercolor painting in tabloid size. Prints are available if anyone is interested. I have the original hanging in my studio now. It makes me smile every time I see it.
