Making figures fit in the landscape is key to having them look natural and part of the scene. Figures add life, a sense of scale, and interest to the composition. Learn to expressively capture the character of the figure as you study shape, value, color, and edges. Your paintings will come alive by bringing human energy and movement to the landscape! Reference material provided. Introductory watercolor experience needed.
