Always a gala evening at Salon Mark Beard when models like Claudio und Vince come by. #gay #queer #gayartist #queerartist #gayart #queerart #watercolor #maleart #art #lifedrawing #drawing #figurative #figuredrawing #jordanmejias #homoeroticart #homoerotic #drawingfromlive #painting #aquarell

Sergey and Pete had a rendezvous chez Mark. And I dropped by to draw and paint them. Here my watercolor and my sketches. #gay #queer #gayartist #queerartist #gayart #queerart #watercolor #maleart #art #lifedrawing #drawing #figuredrawing #jordanmejias #homoeroticart #drawingfromlive #painting

Sometimes it's difficult. And I'm not talking about drawing or painting. #gay #queer #gayartist #queerartist #gayart #queerart #watercolor #maleart #art #lifedrawing #drawing #figurative #figuredrawing #jordanmejias #homoeroticart #homoerotic #drawingfromlive #paintingfromlive #painting #aquarell

A touch of drama for a quiet sunday morning. Something happened. But what? #gay #queer #gayartist #queerartist #gayart #queerart #watercolor #maleart #art #lifedrawing #drawing #figurative #figuredrawing #jordanmejias #homoeroticart #homoerotic #drawingfromlive #paintingfromlive #painting

High heels are for everyone. Just make sure it's the right occasion... #gay #queer #gayartist #queerartist #gayart #queerart #watercolor #maleart #art #lifedrawing #drawing #figurative #figuredrawing #jordanmejias #homoeroticart #homoerotic #drawingfromlive #paintingfromlive #painting

Encounter in my studio. Could also be encounter on the beach. Or anywhere. Who knows... #gay #queer #gayartist #queerartist #gayart #queerart #watercolor #maleart #art #lifedrawing #drawing #figurative #figuredrawing #jordanmejias #homoeroticart #homoerotic #drawingfromlive #painting

Get up! The parade is in full swing! New York is celebrating! Happy Pride! #gay #queer #gayartist #queerartist #gayart #queerart #watercolor #maleart #art #lifedrawing #drawing #figurative #figuredrawing #jordanmejias #homoeroticart #homoerotic #drawingfromlive #paintingfromlive #painting

A watercolor from another eve at Salon Beard a while ago. Always inspiring. #gay #queer #gayartist #queerartist #gayart #queerart #watercolor #maleart #art #lifedrawing #drawing #figurative #figuredrawing #jordanmejias #homoeroticart #homoerotic #drawingfromlive #paintingfromlive #painting

Jesse's back. Front some other time. #gay #queer #gayartist #queerartist #gayart #queerart #watercolor #maleart #art #lifedrawing #drawing #figurative #figuredrawing #jordanmejias #homoeroticart #homoerotic #erotic #manart #drawingfromlive #paintingfromlive #painting #figurativeart #figureart

Another duo. But then, look again. Just saying. #gay #queer #gayartist #queerartist #gayart #queerart #watercolor #maleart #art #lifedrawing #drawing #figurative #figureart #figuredrawing #jordanmejias #homoeroticart #homoerotic #erotic #manart #drawingfromlive #paintingfromlive #yupopaper

Raining in New York. But the beach days are on the way... #gay #queer #gayartist #queerartist #gayart #queerart #watercolor #maleart #art #lifedrawing #drawing #figurative #figureart #figuredrawing #jordanmejias #homoeroticart #homoerotic #erotic #manart #paintingfromlive #jordanmejiasart

Again, sometimes a few lines are enough. What matters it's always the line... #gay #queer #gayartist #queerartist #gayart #queerart #watercolor #maleart #art #lifedrawing #drawing #figurative #figureart #figuredrawing #jordanmejias #homoeroticart #homoerotic #erotic #manart #paintingfromlive

For some, this is a difficult pose. For others, it isn't. #gay #queer #gayartist #queerartist #gayart #queerart #watercolor #maleart #art #lifedrawing #drawing #figurative #figureart #figuredrawing #jordanmejias #homoeroticart #homoerotic #erotic #manart #drawingfromlive #paintingfromlive

What's going on here? I'm not telling. You can see for yourself. #gay #queer #gayartist #queerartist #gayart #queerart #watercolor #maleart #art #lifedrawing #drawing #figurative #figureart #figuredrawing #jordanmejias #homoeroticart #homoerotic #erotic #manart #drawingfromlive #paintingfromlive

Today an abstraction. Or is it? You decide! #gay #queer #gayartist #queerartist #gayart #queerart #watercolor #maleart #art #lifedrawing #drawing #figurative #figureart #jordanmejias #homoeroticart #homoerotic #erotic #drawingfromlive #paintingfromlive

My painting of a guy photographing me while I paint. Or is he doing something else? #gay #queer #queerart #gayart #watercolor #painting #drawing #lifedrawing #maleart #homoerotic #gayartist #queersrtist #jordanmejias #nudeart

One never knows what’s going to happen when you have two models to draw and paint - and when these two never met before… #gay #queer #queerart #gayart #drawing #lifedrawing #painting #maleart #figureart #malemodel #queerartist #figurative #jordanmejias #watercolor #watercolorart

Just found this pic again. Working larger than life on three heavy 300 lb sheets of Arches paper. And lotsa watercolor. #gay #queer #lifedrawing #watercolor #painting #maleart #queerart #gayart #jordanmejias #drawing #maledrawing #linedrawing #figureart #figurative

Hello from Germany! Spring is in the air and the pen and the brush are getting a workout. #gay #queer #watercolor #lifedrawing #drawing #painting #queerart #gayart #maleart #jordanmejias #figureart #linedrawing

If it isn't exciting, it's nothing. The excitement of the moment must be felt later on the page. That's what I try to do, always and here again. Judge4yourself. #gay #queer #gayart #queerart #watercolor #jordanmejias #lifedrawing #drawing #painting #monochromatic #figureart #maleart #art #masculin

Another painting of the very fabulous couple @jontaylorstudio.bsky.social and @tigerwilly.bsky.social. Whenever they are in New York, they drop by my studio. And this is the result. #gay #queer #gayart #queerart #watercolor #drawing #lifedrawing #queerartist #gayartist #art #painting #maleart

Time change today. Spring is in the air. Took out my toned paper for this one. Another feeling. #gay #queer #gayartist #queerartist #gayart #queerart #art #figureart #figurative #watercolor #drawing #linedrawing #lifedrawing #maleart #painting #jordanmejias #watercolorpainting

Work in progress. Let's see what's gonna happen. At some point paint and brush take over and tell me what to do. #gay #queer #gayart #queerart #gayartist #queerartist #art #painting #drawing #lifedrawing #maledrawing #figurative #figurativeart #figureart #jordanmejias #linedrawing

They found their pose very quickly. I didn't say a word. I just painted. #gay #queer #gayart #queerart #gayartist #queerartist #figurative #figurativeart #art #homosexual #jordanmejias #drawing #lifedrawing #maledrawing #maleart #painting #watercolor #linedrawing

Sexy elegance, a friend said when I showed him this painting. I didn't object... #gay #queer #queerart #queerartist #gayart #gayartist #watercolor #drawing #lifedrawing #maledrawing #jordanmejias #figurative #figureart #linedrawing #akt #art #figureart #elegance #sexy

This fabulous couple - @jontaylorstudio.bsky.social and @tigerwilly.bsky.social - never fail to pose for me whenever they pass through New York. The result? Always great! A pleasure! #gay #queer #art #drawing #lifedrawing #painting #jordanmejias #queerart #maleart #homosexual #queerartist

Nothing to be said. The pose and look did all the talking. I just had to take the brush and paint. #gay #queer #gayartist #queerartist #gayart #queerart #maleart #homoerotic #drawing #lifedrawing #painting #watercolor #figureart #figurative #jordanmejias

What's going on here? Two guys in a hurry. Where are they going? To do what? You decide. I just painted what I saw. #gay #queer #queerart #gayart #queerartist #gayartist #art #watercolor #painting #drawing #lifedrawing #homoerotic #maleart #figurative #figureart #jordanmejias #maleart #akt #figure

Artists call this foreshortening. You can call it what you want. Sexy? Sensuous? Seductive? All up to your phantasy. #gay #queer #gayart #queerart #gayartist #queerartist #jordanmejias #watercolor #painting #drawing #lifedrawing #homoerotic #art #figureart #maleart #figurative #erotic

One of my divers. Some are nude, some aren’t - but… #gay #queer #gayart #queerart #gayartist #queerartist #watercolor #painting #homoerotic #lifedrawing #drawing #jordanmejias #maledrawing #maleart ##figurative

Sometimes it's enough if the model just stands there doing nothing - being himself. And if there is some motion in the pose - the better. Like here. #gay #queer #drawing #lifedrawing #painting #watercolor #jordanmejias #gayart #queerart #homoerotic #art #figureart #figurative #queerartist

Jesse in a pensive mood. A watercolor from my book "Of Art and Men". You can order it from my website jordanmejias.com. Makes a great gift for Valentine's Day. Have a look! Lots more pictures. #art #maleart #gay #queer #watercolor #queerart #gayart #drawing #lifedrawing #painting #jordanmejias

What's happening here? Christian and Adam, my models, didn't tell, but they showed. Let your phantasy go and you know. #gay #queer #painting #drawing #lifedrawing #maleart #queerartist #queerart #gayartist #gayart #homoerotic #jordanmejias #figurative #figureart #maledrawing

I wanted him in a relaxed pose, sensuous and seductive. That's what I got. That's what I drew. That's what I painted. #gay #queer #gayart #queerart #gayartist #queerartist #art #painting #drawing #lifedrawing #figurativeart #figureart #jordanmejias #maleart #lmalepainting #figurative #masuline

Too cold? Think of summer. My diver does. Here is the one in red. The other one, in blue, is jumping from a wall in Boston. Maybe I need to paint a third diver? But what color? #painting #gay #queer #queerart #gayart #drawing #lifedrawing #maleart #jordanmejias #homoerotic #maleart #figurative #art

Sometimes the whole canvas seems to move. The body, the pose, the colors, everything. And it's a big move here. Canvas 48 inches high. Acrylics. #gay #queer #gayartist #queerart #painting #drawing #lifedrawing #homoerotic #figurative #art #jordanmejias #queerartist #gauart #homoerotic #acrylics

I used watercolor on hard to control yupo paper to paint the fabulous @jake.speakman (on insta). Jake and yupo go perfect together: Both do what they want and make you do how they want it. #gay #queer #watercolor #art #lifedrawing #homoerotic #gayartist #queerartist #queerart #gayart #figurative

It's cold again in New York. Icy winds. I had to find something to raise the temperature. Brush, watercolors and, not to forget, my supertalented model. Here is the result. #gay #queer #queerartist #gayartist #queerart #gayart #watercolor #drawing #lifedrawing #painting #jordanmejias #figuredrawing

A curve. A perfect curve. A dream. A dream to draw. A dream to paint. A dream to be invited in. #gay #queer #gayart #queerart #queerartist #gayartist #jordanmejias #sensuous #figurativeart #figure #homoerotic #watercolor #painting #drawing #lifedrawing #erotic #art #figuredrawing #malefigure

Here's my take on Michelangelo's fabulous Ignudi. I did it my way with all of his 20. If you want to see the rest, go to my website jordanmejias.com #gay #queer #queerart #gayart #gayartist #queerartist #homoerotic #watercolor #lifedrawing #drawing #painting #maleart #figurative #jordanmejias #art

Get comfortable, I told him. He did. And because he was, I was. Very comfortable to draw him. Now have a look. Be comfortable! #gay #queer #queerart #queerartist #gayart #maleart #homoerotic #drawing #painting #lifedrawing #art #figurativeart #jordanmejias #figureart #malefigure

Love on Xmas. #gay #queer #gayart #queerart #gayartist #queerartist #homoerotic #erotic #lifedrawing #drawing #painting #maleart #nudeart #jordanmejias

Double portrait of Vince. Very intense. It's not watercolor. It's a fairly large canvas, painted with very watery acrylic. Drips and splashes and more included. Allow yourself to get wet. #lifedrawing #painting #drawing #gay #queer #maleart #queerart #gayart #homoerotic #erotic #jordanmejias #art

Some charcoal lines, a few smudges of pastel - and here he is. Hope you like him. I let him stretch out on tinted paper, it's so much more sensuous than plain white... #gay #queer #queerart #gayart #maleart #drawing #art #painting #jordanmejias #lifedrawing #erotic #eroticart #homoerotic

A fresh start…..
