Candy Swirls

Colorful patterns on two-dimensional stock are interesting, but they can take on a very different look when applied to a human figure. In this example, a simple candy-colored swirl design has been used as an overlay on a photograph of seated nude model and positioned in such a way as to allow the swirling patterns to conform to the contours of the figure.

The original photograph comes courtesy of the stock gallery maintained by RCook13. You can click here to visit their gallery and view other examples of their creative work. Thanks for participating in the Human Canvas Project!

The Magic of Water

Water seems to have a magical effect on the look and texture of human skin, and many sensual fine art photographs have successfully captured that alluring look of water droplets clinging to the skin of models as they step from a shower or a lake after a nude swim. Here, a close-up photo of water droplets has been applied as an overlay to create a more stylized variation to that "wet look" type of pose.

Mystical

This Human Canvas image represents a great example of the many ways that the "body as canvas" theme can be presented. In this case, the model/photographer is a beautiful woman named Chi, and the overlay pattern is a stock photograph that she created for other artists to use in their work. Thus, the artist has literally become the medium on which her art is displayed.

Thanks to Chi for sharing her photographs for this project. You can see more of her wonderful work by clicking this link to visit her gallery.

The 60's Revisited

After a short hiatus, it is time to post some new images on this site. This new Human Canvas is a variation of a project based on a popular Peter Max poster that was posted a few months ago. The bright colors that dominated pop culture in the Sixties coupled with the themes of free expression and acceptance of casual nudity make this iconic poster a perfect overlay for the human canvas experience.

Many thanks to T & L ("Torino-stock") for sharing the stock image used to create this human canvas. Here is the link to Torino-stock's great and diversified stock gallery:
