Still trying to find people to join and as no one has jumped
in I thought I'd pose a question. Artists (of any medium) and
performers, musicians etc.... where is your favourite place to
practice in the nude? To sketch or create?
I
have gone outdoors in the forest sketching large interesting
trees. I find that rather exhilarating adding to my creative
flow and the joy of being alive while doing what I love to do,
sketch old burned out first growth trees. These trees have a story
to tell of their once proud lives and their testimony to the fire
that went through our area in the 1920's. You can see me sketching one of those magnificent trees inn the photo I just uploaded with this post.
Live first growth trees have another story to tell, their
twists and crags, massive trunks and history to impart in their
witness to the passage of the years.

Where is your favourite place and what subject interest you
in the exploration of your craft?

RE: where is your favourite place to create in the nude?

Next to painting and sketching on location in the forest I enjoy working in my studio sans clothing. The benefit I like to point out to my wife is there will not be any paint on the clothes I might have worn. Inevitably in the winter when I do wear clothing paint leaps out onto my pants and shirt.
Another benefit is the free feeling that helps feed the creative process.
How do others feel?

Since I do not have my own studio, I work in my home space nude. When I created mostly at home, I would always throw in the nude, easier clean up! Less laundry.
