Painting the figure is always a challenge. It is most rewarding though.
If drawing is about seeing as they say, you notice things every step of the way. During the development of your drawing you see certain aspects of the figure that need to be corrected. You truly see the posture of the individual as unique to that person. However, the figure becomes the focal point of the picture regardless of how beautiful you have portrayed the landscape.
This watercolor doodle I did on a piece of scrap paper. I like how the light comes from the left across the boys clothing and body. Against the white of the paper I find this image quite captivating.
So often we cover the paper in watercolor with pigment when the unpainted surface has a lot to offer on it's own.
