A bold and unapologetic nude, painted in watercolour on 300gsm sketchbook paper. This work captures the strength and softness of the figure, relaxed yet powerful, arms stretched confidently across the hearth. The warm, earthy tones of the stonework echo the natural hues of the body, grounding the composition in a sense of warmth, home, and presence. An exploration of form, texture, and the quiet defiance of taking up space with ease and pride.
