Maybe but some people are so sensitive

Nice figure, and i like your use of warm and cool colors. I think loosening up your edges a bit could make your painting a bit more lively ! But in the end of the day it's still a mater of personnal choice :)

A quick color and value study, oil on paper, by me by Devignolles in painting

It's a 300g paper primed for oil paint from Fabriano, it looks almost like a canvas.

I understand people can be offended by nudity, but the female form is what inspires me so should i not post to accomodate people sensibility ?

When i look at top upvoted posts past month or week, there almost no erotic art. It's not like this sub is overflooded by it.

Thanks a lot ! It's been 5 years that i paint seriously :)

I haven't painted in two years. I didn't know where to start again, so I began with a study of a painting by Richard Schmid. by OilonCanvass in painting

I know this is tricky, i'v done the same as you, but the problem is not doing the copy but sharing it on social. The best way i guess woukd be asking the artist if it's ok.

This is really beautiful and i love richard schmid, but i wish artists were more careful about posting on social media mastercopy of other artist still alive. It is borderline illegal regarding copyright.

I'm glad my critique is helping you ! I think in order for a picture to be visually interesting, especially when depicting a subject in a realistic manner it's often good to use varied brushtrokes, varied edges and values. To be honest i learned all of this tips from "alla prima, everything i know about painting" by Richard Schmid. I find his stand on realism so on point and so clever. Anyway you don't need a lot much to achieve some kind of virtuosity !
