Marta Penter

A friend recently introduced me to Brazilian artist Marta Penter. She does some amazing photo-realistic paintings of women, with her focus on the lower half of the body. I too have an interest in painting legs and feet because they are so curvy and intricate. I also enjoy foreshortened perspectives of figure drawing, in which she has an obvious interest. Unlike myself, Marta paints in predominantly black and white and I have to admit that I love the results. I would be less successful in black and white however because I'm not a photo-realistic painter like Marta. Among her many series, Marta painted subjects on the beach, which was why she was initially recommended to me.
