Need some help here. wanna convince a friend of mine to let me paint her nude...

need some help here. wanna convince a friend of mine to let me paint her nude. I gotta think of as many reasons as i can why somebody would want to pose nude for a painting, every reason why they wouldnt, and a counter-argument for every reason why they wouldnt.
I've already thought about the obvious stuff but if theres anything you can think of then post what youve got

For art dipshit

Ah fuck your right i forgot paintings were art

Do you have a portfolio of nude paintings. If it's clearly your thing then it wont look like you are perving her up specifically.

Why not take it slow and just paint her shirtless. Bra on but you can definitely check her body out. Things may just naturally evolve to painting her white.

Offer to pay her

Sounds counter-progressive since op probably wants to get closer rather than stay strictly business.

Building up a portfolio at the moment and I'm known for being 'the art friend' so I'm good there

Repeat after me, user: "figure studies"

Way ahead of you bud

She got a bf or something?

that she does. Worseso he does photography so I gotta convince her that painting is the way to go

Paint both nude. Put your face on his body.

Honestly if thats the only way she'll agree to it then I'd be willing to. not the painting my head on his body thing, just the painting them both thing

Start smaller: hands, shoulder/neck, legs, whatever. Work your way up? Nothing says weirdo like going straight into asking for nude.

Tell her, youve always dreamed of painting the female figure and you think she would look amazing as art.
Girls love being told their amazing and what not, this just takes that out of a sexual context and puts it into a safer one. (supposedly)
Give her specific scenarios you picture her in. "yeah youd look awesome with the sun on your face and a stupid flowy scarf billowing in the fucking wind, you stupid bitch

Also, if you pay her it would make it seem more legitimate. "

Might also set off a red flag if i keep trying to amp things up each time. She also just might get tired of posing for painting after painting
I was kind of thinking of getting her to come to the conclusion of doing a nude herself, then if she decides its a good idea offer to be the one who paints it. Might be difficult but i think itd be the best way to avoid a no

I was kind of thinking of getting her to come to the conclusion that she should pose nude on her own, rather than asking her to do it for me.

Use pics of her as reference. Draw her in different poses. Never nude, but perhaps in a robe the reveals her shoulders. Then have a separate pile of her getting pounded by a pack of wild dindus. If she likes the soft stuff it could escalate to a full blow gang bang. It's all art bro.

Minus the porn part that actually doesnt sound like half bad an idea

The painting isn't necessarily to get closer to her or anything, I just want to paint her nude because i want to paint her nude. I'm fine with it being more business or more pleasure.

She has the ability, and the right, to just say 'no'. She doesn't owe you a reason, or an explanation, or the opportunity to explain yourself. You really should consider that, you maladjust.

yeah i know that already. If she doesnt wanna do it she doesnt wanna do it. I just wanna introduce the idea to her in a way that might make her more likely to want to do it

Any reasons you think she might not wanna do it?

Shes not a prude or anything but it definitely seems like she prefers to keep herself covered up. She always wears shorts underneath when she wears a skirt and stuff like that. She seems to like being a 'muse' though. She's done modeling stuff for friends of hers, always fully clothed.

Paint both of them, but switch their heads around.

if you are a serious artist then tell her that study of the human body is one of the most important things you can do to advance your artistry. the renaissance painters violated laws to study cadavers to be able to perfectly understand and portray the human body on canvas. remind her it's a high calling to be asked to do this and she should be honored that you would like to use her body as the model of a body that is worthy of being put to canvas

Just ask her and play it cool. If you start giving her reasons for her to do it, it's going to sound creepy/pushy and probably won't yield any results. Whereas if you just ask her if that is something she would be comfortable with, it sounds a bit less creepy.

Oh now were fucking talking

>the renaissance painters violated laws to study cadavers to be able to perfectly understand and portray the human body on canvas

No they did not, nobody had any trouble with posing naked at the time. The ones who studied cadavers where the doctors.

oops

metmuseum.org/toah/hd/anat/hd_anat.htm

ayyy

Oh ya I dont plan on just dumping a bunch of reasons on her. I just wanna be prepared if shes like 'i would do it, but...'

I think they got the point

Can you even paint user? Show us some OC

Ya Im an art student

Art Sup Forumsro reporting.
Had the same case when I began, told her she can comes with her bf, a friend or whatever. She will feel secure and you will not suffer the view of her bf naked. You can also pay her a bit, it sometimes helps. Stay pro under all circumstances in the begining, she will someday come alone, then; work your way to where you wanna go.

A quick question that I don't think got asked yet.
Why do you want to paint her nude

This, show us your work, please

He answered, for the sake of art.
He just want to paint her, I can understand completly, some people inspire us; I personally can't really explain that.

Not much to it realy. I think she looks great, would like to see more. I like doing art and really enjoy figure drawing/painting. Really I just like the idea of painting her.

Post some of you paintings/studies

This, stop ignoring the request. You don't need to post nudes just some oc

Not paintings but here

Alright alright good shit user. Best of luck with your endeavors

Thank
