Figure practice. by Stephen Slater

Nice groups of people with the relative proportions of the groups (and against the buildings) really good.

Yes great job Stephen

Good figures Stephen - like the style you've used in this.

This style suits you very well, Stephen. I like your use of colour too.

Many thanks everyone for your kind encouragement. I foolishly said I would run a little workshop at my local art group on Tuesday, on including simple figures in landscape paintings. So it's encouraging that you like this little sketch which I hope to use as part of that.

Super solid dynamic sketch.

This smashing piece will blow the class Stephen, they'll be saying I can't do that. The practice is essential at any time regardless of your committments so this is very good.

I like it Stephen , figures to me are essential in most paintings and are really nice way to breath life into an image

Many thanks, Shirley, Derek and Dermot for your encouraging comments.

Urban sketching Stephen, really good!

Many thanks Satu.

A nice example of sketching figures in a crowd, perspectives spot on with eye line, and the walks all look natural, very good indeed.

Many thanks Andre.
