In this workshop webinar, Grahame will look in depth at the value of adding figures to your landscapes while painting this busy street scene. Painters are often wary of including figures, fearful that they will not look right, but thinking of proportions rather than detail will help to make your figures believable and bring life to your work.
Grahame will run through a number of examples with you directly to ensure you leave the workshop with a complete painting, as well as feeling more confident about the use of people in your art in future.
NOTE: Pre workshop preparation - Grahame advises that you draw the subject ready for painting, but do not draw the figures in a detailed way – just indicate roughly where they are, and leave out the two large trees in the foreground.
