Man with a Bag

Yesterday I spent a lot of time practicing painting figures.  I began with a 5x7 inch canvas panel and some reference photos.  When I started, my intent was to paint a figure, wipe it out, paint another, wipe it out. Working on the same panel gave me a lot of practice, but didn't chew up a lot of supplies.  On this panel I painted about four different figures, wiping each out after I was finished.  This fellow was my last attempt in the session, so I let him live.  It was a really useful exercise and a lot of fun, too!
