I've added an image. It's my own, so there shouldn't be any problems. escapologist File:Exquisite-kate.png 12:56, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
I plan to replace the entire content of this article. There is little here, and most is incorrect; in particular: A figure painting need not be done from a live model. Many have been done from photographs since the 19th century, and before that they were done from sketches that may or may not have been done from a model. Models were not used until the Renaissance.
The best medium is oils, not acrylics; the short drying time of the latter works against the mixing and blending of colors on the canvas that is required for the human figure.

If fair use is not allowed, then all visual art articles need to be re-title with the addendum: "...Before 1923". FigureArtist ( talk) 19:34, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
I am embarrassed to say that this was one of the articles that I worked on ~8 years ago, while using the name "FigureArtist". There is little here beyond an image gallery and some comments that could be moved to Nude (art).-- WriterArtistDC ( talk) 16:07, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
Moving forward, sections could be added with summaries of and links to the articles on genre where people are clothed.-- WriterArtistDC ( talk) 17:01, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
