Figure painting can be a challenge. It seems best when you put something down on paper to convey the movement of the human body. The human figure flexes in all kinds of directions which allows for endless opportunities to represent our existence. It can be as simple as a line drawing with a dot for the head.
In this watercolor doodle I like the pinkish background with the cool blue foreground. These are not colors I normally use together. It could be ice skaters or several cross country skiers.
I am committed to capturing the human body in movement, particularly at a larger scale where more of the personal characteristics are evident. It is important to utilize the fluidity of watercolor while not overdoing it. This takes much practice and a direct approach to painting. However, I think watercolor is the perfect medium to express the human figure.
