Painting a Moving Target

My goal this summer was to teach myself how to paint

groups of figures from life.
In another week, all my beach models will be gone
so I did a few quick studies yesterday. 

These gals, lined up in the sun were a real challenge 

because they kept getting up! 

Six Babysitters

8 x 8 

I quickly mapped them out in red acrylic

so when they went for a swim, 

I had something to work with!

I'm using an Open Box M, a very limited pallet,

and am taking pictures, 

but not looking a them until I've finished! 

A great way to work quickly and 

spontaneously.
