Painting people can be a challenge. Much of the time I aim to capture their posture and sense of movement. A little color here and there can go a long way.
It is important to include people from the start in your painting process. In painting the people who I painted above I did not want to show much detail - just capture the essence of the scene.
I try to sketch and paint people on a regular basis. That way I can become better at it but also, more intuitive in capturing the human body in motion.
In addition, at times I like to incorporate the white of the paper as part of someone's outfit. I feel the white of the paper provides a special quality which I can't come up with on my own.
