Study of a Nude, 1892

Study of a Nude is one of Anders Zorn's most celebrated figure paintings, showcasing his extraordinary ability to capture the warmth of skin, natural light, and subtle color with a remarkably limited palette. The work demonstrates the confident, expressive brushwork that made Zorn one of the greatest portrait and figure painters of his time. It remains a favorite among artists for its timeless beauty and masterful handling of light and form. Simplified into 12 values and printed on rolled canvas, just paint directly on top in your choice of oil or acrylic paint. Follow the underpainting closely for a realistic-style result, or loosely for a more painterly style.
