Art Models 3: Life Nude Photos for the Visual Arts

by Maureen Johnson, Douglas Johnson

Overview

While no book can replace a live model, this photographic guide to the human form provides a diverse selection of figures for those who do not have access to live models. Posed in a variety of classical and modern modes, the models are set in a clear, clean environment that is void of distractions and enhances the figure. All of the photos were painstakingly edited and adjusted to yield all the nuances of the figures. Each photo may be zoomed in on specific body parts to achieve a higher level of detail. This ebook does not have the full 360-degree views of every pose. If you would like all the views of all the poses, please see the Companion Disk or print book with disk.

Editorial Reviews

"As an instructor of painting and drawing and a model coordinator for open drawing sessions, this is also an excellent guide to share with new or experienced models in devising poses of short or long duration. Many of the models in Art Models 2 show a wonderful range of emotion, inviting further study in the face rather than merely the body. As an artist, this is a great visual aid, with large accessible photographs from which to work from the figure when an actual live model is not available. Thank you!" —Rhiannon Mercer, MFA

"This is the best artist tool in this genre that I've seen to date. The larger size images, in full natural color, and especially the greater range of models (gender, age, and body types) all make this very close to the actual drawing lab experience." —Robert Rhoades, professor of fine arts, College of the Redwoods



"The many poses allows one to choose any combination of limbs, torsos, heads, hands, and feet, to create any pose not presented in the book or CD. I especially appreciate the ethnic diversity of the chosen models that allows greater versatility in developing skin tones both in light and shade. A superb addition to any artist's library." —Dr. David Haack, OFM, assistant professor of visual arts, St. Bonaventure University
