This subject was about 50yards away from where we were painting at Chipstead Wednesday before last. Apart from the figure I painted it from a photo that I took on the day. I added the figure because I thought it really needed it. Is the figure going to make a phone call? He has been taking photo`s because he has a camera in his hand.

    I agree I think the figure helps the composition and design of the piece.

    Hi Shirley.

    Hi Vic,

    I love this one! Lovely setting and the natural gait of the figure is fantastic. I think he is going to make a phone call.

    Regards,

    Sue

    Hi Hilda.
    Thank you for your nice comment. It is a lovely area for an Artist. Bit cramped in the small area that we were painting in. Well worth it though. All the best Hilda.

    I really like that you're adding figures to these charming scenes. They bring them to life. The last one was good and this one is better. They also add a contemporary feeling--modern dressed pedestrian, old English villages. Nice mix.

    Hi Linda.
    Thank you very much for your nice comment. I do love placing a figure or two somewhere in a painting. I hope to go to Constable Country soon. I love that area. Stacks to paint. All the best Linda.

    Hi Page.
    Thank you also for your nice comment. I agree with you page that one must get the figure in it`s right proportions. For instance, if that chap wanted to make a phone call, would he be able to get through the door. all the best page.

    Super work Vic. I love that you included the figure because it gives the scene a 'story'. I keep telling myself I must include figures in my pictures, but never do. Mind you, I'm no good at them whereas you have captured the natural posture of this guy perfectly. Great job. ;-)
