Urban Impressions

Very basic moving to more complex ways to paint figures. Demo in watercolor, but any media may be used.

26min

Part 1: Simple figures from memory, thinking only about light/dark and variety of edges and shapes. I included photos for examples of how these concepts can relate to any photo or plein air situation.

Part 2: More complex (from a photo, shown) concept 1 plus sun/shadow.

Part 3: Pavement & building color shown in sun/shadow warm/cool example

Create simple and more complex figure studies to get comfortable adding these elements into your work. Use your own photos (when you are ready for the more complex demo)

Artists to look at for semi-abstracted figures (Instagram or web, all current artists)... Fred Cuming, Quang Ho, Tibor Nagy, Jeremy Mann, Simon Pasini, Suchitra Bhostle, Peter Brown, Mary Sauer, Jacob Dhein, Eudes Correia, Trevor Chamberlain
