day 2

The figures on the top photo are from my own photos.
These are all watercolor, with white gouache.
Even though these figures are, to varying degrees, off or wonky, I think they still work. 
I learned a lot on the class, maybe most importantly to just go for it ... Don't try to make it perfect just try to get the proportions those of a human being!
I look forward to practicing this more, and maybe next summer I'll get to the beach more often!

These are great, they capture the movement. They are breathing and not static...I can't find the words...I love them!

Thank you Lisa! It's so weird. I feel exactly the same way about Peggi kroll Roberts figures ... There's something about them I can't put my finger on. How's your definitely more correct than mine but they have a quality; I don't know what it is! Maybe it's a balance of correctness and expressiveness? Definitely something I want to try more of.
