Sometimes it is good to paint a value study. Instead of using payne's gray, I used ultramarine with burnt umber which gives the painting a warm gray quality. You can always add color later on. Or at least that is my approach, at times, when trying to capture a persons posture.
This watercolor was painted in five minutes but it lives on in my mind. I can readily change the scale of the person, put in a background or add more darks if I want. However, the essence of the figure is down on paper. I can even feel a bit of this person's presence.
