Interview with Playboy Model Carlotta Champagne

I recently did an interview with Playboy Model and Cyber Girl Carlotta Champagne, a follow-up to one I did a few years ago.  It was a good time for us to catch up.  And read all the way through for a special offer on Carlotta prints!

It’s been several years since I last interviewed you……what is the latest news about your modeling career ?
<b>Nothing to report on, haha! I'm still working with artists, making images, being creative and causing a raucous with my nudity.

You recently moved to Los Angeles from Florida….how do you think this will impact your modeling career?
I really don't know! Los Angeles has so many opportunities. Perhaps more acting and video work will expand my modeling horizon a bit.

You were a Playboy Special Editions Model and Cyber Girl of the Week…Any plans for more Playboy shoots in the future?
I really don't know! I work with Playboy radio somewhat frequently so it's always possible for more big photoshoots as well.

You have a variety of interests outside modeling….what is your favorite down time activity?
I have so many!! I love dance classes at the gym, reading, watching movies, painting... I can't narrow it down.

How long would you like to continue as a nude model? Can you see yourself doing this for several more years, given your extraordinary beauty?
I'm going to do this as long as I can, as long as I still feel good about myself.

Have your post –modeling plans changed since our last interview?
Probably, I don't have any set plans right now. My entire life is up in the air, and it feels completely amazing..

I Don't Just Draw Nudes

Every once in a while I will do something that is not pinup or nude art based. This painting was originally a birthday gift for my wife 15 years ago. She wanted a painting that would fit in our upstairs hallway, and, being the decorator, she was very specific on what elements and styles she chose.



One thing that she insisted upon was the use of a technique know as imapasto in the hill. Since it's not normally my style of painting, it did take some practice, but the effect is very cool; it gives the painting a sculpted, 3 dimensional look.

For her birthday this year, she asked me to update some colors in the hill, such as adding green vegetation, and some burgundy in the rocks. She also wanted more separation between the castle and the mountain in the background, so I added more grey for a misty, atmospheric effect.

Painting landscapes is a fun, but occasional, diversion from my usual nude figures, which are more in my wheelhouse. Contact me at Fine Art America with any comments or questions.
