Nude Painting Studio

Welcome to Nude Art, my virtual studio, where I have drawn hundreds of amazing friends and strangers.

What started out as a hobby during the pandemic lockdowns has become a full time artistic endeavour over the past 5 years and an amazing way to meet muses while traveling.

During my time drawing people, I have received numerous requests to draw people from all over the world who want their likeness immortalized in paper or canvas. This website was created as a promise to all those muses — nude painting, drawing and sculpture commissions are now open, and will remain so as long as this website states so.

While I now rarely draw people in my physical workshop, live drawing sessions can also be arranged, anywhere my travels take me.

I look forward to creating art with you. —Ricardo

Nude posing is not the easiest or most comfortable task, but in order for you to feel safe, I have developed some guidelines that will keep us both safe and at ease throughout this intimate and fun project. Read the guidelines below.

Simple guidelines before we start:

I have learned all of these things throughout many years of drawing nude people. As an artist, one must find the boundary between artsy and pornographic. In my practice, I respect all self expression, but in order for everyone to be comfortable, I choose the poses that I draw, and I do not work with sexually suggestive poses.

That being said, I will always start with a joint idea between me and the muse, and I’m engaged to provide feedback on poses and lights, even directing the poses myself!

Here are the most basic do’s and dont’s of this nude creative exercise.

  • I will only draw people with their explicit consent. When in doubt, I will require verification.
  • When working through reference pictures, I will need high quality pictures.
  • A live session is not guaranteed, but can be arranged upon prior meeting and mutual agreement.
  • Prices vary depending on the pose, materials and deliverables. Projects will only begin once a budget has been agreed upon.
  • Muses can opt in or out of being shown on the website and socials.
  • Projects can be anonymous, as long as there’s a consenting human being drawn.

There are so many ways one can get drawn, painted or sculpted. Let’s work together with the medium, size, colors and techniques and budget you have in mind.
