Paintings of t-ladies
 

Do they exist? Has anyone ever attempted to capture the beauty and charm of a transsexual woman on canvas?

I do a little painting myself and have taken up the idea to do a nude or semi-nude of Thays Schiavinato. Since I'm unlikely to see her in person, I want to paint her from a photograph. Problem is...to find a suitable photograph.

I intend to create a painting that radiates eroticism and so an erect penis is more or less a must. But I would on the other hand not want to deliver a painting that is focussed entirely on that particular part of her body. I want to try in other words to capture her beauty as a whole.
Apart from that, I would want my model to pose in a very feminie and elegant way. Such photographs are unfortunately not easy to come by.

Does anyone by the way support my effort?

I'd love to see them...I'm a fine-arts photographer, gallery represented...:respect:...from one artist to another.

I look forward to seeing your painting.

I just can't believe there's so few art lovers here!

On the contrary...
 

I do believe there are many here who would love to see your proposed painting.

So far, what few drawings and paintings I have seen of TS women, almost invariably impress me as poorly drawn, crude, and with grotesquely exaggerated penis size, disproportionate bodies, just not real. I would LOVE to see some experienced artists capture the very real beauty of TS women on canvas.

I agree with DeaconBlues, in that there are probably more here than any of us realize.

And I say again, that I would love to see some of your work.

Sorry, Diana. I meant to reply to your thread right after you posted it and I forgot. Yes, I do support your effort. I will look for an appropriate photograph and let you know if I find one.

Thanks a lot, ila! Appreciate the offer.

By the way, it doesn't necessarily have to be a picture of Thays Schiavinato, but I would like it to be a girl with natural boobs It's just that Thays has the prettiest and best developed natural breasts I've seen.

I've seriously thought about taking up life painting of the many ts ladies (not just nudes btw) that I know. The thing is i'm training as an architect also, and despite being 'out' i'm not sure what effect it would have on my reputation.
