Nude painting

Nude painting and in this demonstration the nude is in a side on view and after the drawing in stage which isn't in any detail because after all it is a watercolour we are painting so we don't want a detailed drawing. I first started off by painting in some of the background because here I want a nice soft transition from background and hair.
 

While the background wash was still wet I start to paint in the hair using burnt sienna and a touch of ultramarine blue.

Other colours go in, raw sienna and an almost burnt burnt sienna. the ear and side of the face go in with cadmium red and cerulean blue and some softening took place by dipping my brush into the water jar and giving it a good shake and then gently softened the some hard edges.

I paint in colour around the head, notice the softness from background to hair and the hard edges at the front of the face and ear.

The same colour goes into her back and in certain parts I used more cerulean blue into the mixture.

The legs were painted in using the same mixture but made darker and where I saw brighter colour Oput it in using pure colour.

The finished painting.
