Crushed Pigment by Sophie E. Russell

I can’t help but stare at the model as I try to draw his lines. Nothing works, though, at capturing his essence, and I can’t figure out why.
Cole instantly crushes on the nude model he has to draw and paint for class. In his effort to capture the man’s essence, he stumbles across the model, Geo, painting in the studio at night. Will Geo allow Cole to try to capture him when he’s at his truest while holding a brush?
After what I’ve been through, a little nudity doesn’t bother me, but I know without a doubt that I belong on the other side of the easel.
Geo has tremendous talent, but a complicated past prevented him from enrolling in university. When he uses the studio after classes end each day, a student crashes the only time he has to paint. Will Cole accept Geo as he truly is, even if his beauty is only skin deep?
