Very proud of myself this week, have edited and tidied my Pinterest boards....love them....I use Pinterest daily but lots of artists I know don't use it.....I like the research and I like prepping for the Art group....it takes me out of my comfort zone of dreamy, ' happy as Larry ' landscapes....
Which comes first, the landscape or the figure ? Please yourself ! How big should the figure be ? Same....how should you paint the figure ? Anyway you want.
So I used mountboard no bigger than 12 inches square. I then did a very loose wash with a grungy colour all over the board.
Number 1... I did the background then used a finger to paint in a figure which I promptly painted out again
Number 2...I got lost in the bushes with this one and the figure got lost too...
Number 3.... I made a sketch of my husband and son playing on the beach....I drew the figures in charcoal pencil, painted them over, drew them again , then painted them over....it was difficult to be objective becuase they are my family. I got into the memory of the day......
