Figure painting

Figure painting is a form of the visual arts in which the artist uses a live model as the subject matter of a two-dimensional piece of artwork using paint as the medium. In most cases the live model is nude and the painting is a representation of the full body of the model. It is analogous in most respects to figure drawing, which is usually done in pencil of some kind.

Some artists very well known for figure painting are Rubens, Degas, and Manet.
