About The Artwork

As an artist, painting the iconic Marilyn Monroe is always a joy for me. In this watercolor painting, I captured the essence of the blonde bombshell without any drawn lines. Instead, I used brushstrokes and splashes of watercolor to bring her to life. The painting is matted and framed with a simple black frame and white mat, allowing the viewer to focus on the piece itself. At 11 x 14 inches, the painting is large enough to appreciate the intricate details of Marilyn Monroe's famous features. One of my favorite things about this piece is the way I left portions of the canvas "unfinished." This creates a beautiful sense of incompleteness that invites the viewer to use their imagination to complete the story. The painting captures the gesture lines of Marilyn Monroe's pose with enough marks and color to tell the story but leaves plenty of white paper to create high contrast. It's an elegant representation of the sex icon, known for her work as a pinup girl in the 1950s and early 1960s, and an emblem of the era's sexual revolution.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida watercolorist and oil painter, Brenden Sanborn has been capturing the sensuality and beauty of the male figure for two decades. Male nude painting for Brenden is more than just placing the lines or shapes; it's a spiritual journey into expressing a much deeper realm of male sensitivity, passion, tenderness, and vulnerability. Nude male art to Brenden embodies strength, masculinity, humility, and sensuality. Brenden takes the viewer on an artful journey by capturing the subtle differences in each subject's emotions through their body language: A slight tip of the head, a strong angle of the shoulders, or a strong confident chest. Brenden tells a soul story on the paper or canvas by flirting with expressive color, through the pressure of the pen, or with the depth and width of lines. These subtleties are an accumulation of the emotion that the artist is feeling, as well as a complete reflection of the emotions that he is picking up from his subject, for these insights, come as naturally as his thoughts. Color comes instinctively with each painting, too, therefore Brenden varies his palette. He sees the color of his subjects like he sees a beautiful sunset; each painting is different and the emotion conveyed through color is completely intuitive. The painting is always an evolution of a spiritual journey to get to know the deeper, soulful man behind the alluring, erotic body.
