A female nude figure, seen from behind, seated on a red cloth before a mirror, arranging her hair. This painting is one of a series of nude or draped figures of young women in interior settings. The mood is calm, intimate and reflective, depicting a quiet moment when the subject is relaxed and unselfconscious. To create a work in which the subject appears this natural and at ease, I work in collaboration with skilled professional life models who… choose their own poses and bring their own views to the process. With nudes in general, I am interested in exploring the subtle tonal relationships in the anatomy and the interplay of light on objects in the frame, whether diffuse, direct or reflected. I've written more about my views and practice in painting nudes in this article on my website: https://michaelalford.co.uk/collaborations-michael-alford-on-painting-the-nude.
