These are two of several quick sketch people I have been trying to capture in watercolor. I am trying not to dwell on the figure too much yet fit the size of the individual to the setting or landscape with a strong presence.
Observing an individuals posture and grasping a quality of their movement can be quite satisfying. I have been trying to portray a fluidity to the human figure which I have not painted in the past.
Getting the drawing right is critical but in these instances I am not sketching out the figure in advance. I simply dip the brush and start painting. However, I do a warm-up on a piece of scrap paper. I am curious how this evolves going forward.
