Thread: Burlesque Artists

I was wondering if there are any other artists that paint burlesque performers as i never seen any as december charm said in another post "I reckon you could produce some gorgeous watercolours with a burlesque theme."

i am aware Gemma Parker does some.

Gemma Parker
Charlotte Thomson whose work is awesome
There was a guy here a while back (think his username was Millarcus) who did watercolours, I think

I have to say that my reaction to your post was the same as December's - I think you should give it a go if you can find the time, the results could be lovely!

I'd like to be a burlesque artist myself - but as anyone who saw my flyer for my event will know, my style is quite minimalist!

I wish I could, but people are one of the worst things for me to paint/draw

You should definitely give it a go! Try going along to a Dr Sketchy's- sounds like it would be right up your street

i did landscapes and a bit of work for a few ppl i wont mention names so afraid portraiture is out my league

i do like the portrait work of Robert Heindel, the great late Robert L Lenkiewicz, Gordon King and Douglas Hoffman, all there work breathe movement into the images.

I go check out Charlotte Thomson work now

thanx you for your comments as well

oops i forgot jurgen gorg and Joy Kirton (i have one of her SLE over my bed) check both of them out and ou see the life they breathe into there work

I've been thinking of doing something like this...portraits aren't really what I'm into but I like to have a go sometimes just to keep up my technique...the sparklier the better! The last sparkly person I painted was from Velvet Goldmine though:lol:

I used to draw/paint burlesque but then moved on to images of aerial performers instead, I like the shapes their figures create but like doing portraits best.

I'm an (amateur) artist and am starting a life drawing class in June, so I'll get to you then! I would LOVE to draw burly figures so will definitely keep trying to do it.

Speaking of which, there's a hotel in a village near me that I adore staying in because one of the rooms is decorated with erotic drawings and has a lovely big red and leopard-print bed
