Spring Planting and Figures on Friday #3

One of my goals with these figurative studies is to see ONLY the big shapes. I'm trying not to get caught up in details, which is such a huge temptation when painting people. Instead I'm trying focus on where the shadows and light are interacting, and how they are defining form. (Hmmmmm... just like in landscape, I am looking for planes of light and dark, and comparing, comparing, comparing.) ;)

Here is another set of images from my Life Drawing class… mind you, I have many, many drawings that will never see the light of day. But I share these, trusting that you will go easy on me. :) Did I mention how much fun I have been having?  

Next week, I will be back with paintings from Big Bend, Texas. It's truly the wild, wild west of Texas, and painting there is always an adventure!
