I drew this at a cafe and then painted it once I got home. Since people move so quickly, I draw them one at a time. I finish drawing them just as they zoom off. Then I wait for the next person to come along, figure out where to put them in the composition, then draw them quick before they go. I wait for the next person, see where they fit in, and draw them quick. It's like putting people into the puzzle of a drawing! It's a great challenge.

What a clever way to draw people- you must be a speed sketcher to catch people! The colors, lines, composition, it is all wonderful! Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteMe gusta! Enhorabuena!
ReplyDeleteWonderful puzzle painting:-) Your eye must be so very quick to capture the people on-the-go! I absolutely love the richness of the color on the table - is it burnt sienna?
ReplyDeleteThat is certainly a challenge and do it so well. Beautiful painting Nora. Happy PPF, Annette x
ReplyDeleteI like your attitude. And your art.
ReplyDeleteThis is so charming, I get the feeling that the people in the painting are kids, well young people at least. Happy painting and have a great weekend
ReplyDeleteYou're amazing, Nora! Another lovely watercolor. I love looking around at all the wonderful details..
ReplyDeleteUna composicion muy acertada. Se necesita mucho ojo y paciencia para pintar escenas como la que tu has pintado!
ReplyDeleteGreat challenge that is so well done ~ Magnifico! ~ thanks, namaste, ^_^

ReplyDeleteThis sounds like fun...and a real test of skill. You really are good at it.
ReplyDeleteoh Nora, you are one brave and talented woman. My painting would look like total crap if i had done what you did - your painting is amazing. I really love the looseness you have with the colors. Fabulous work. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI admire your ability to capture them so quickly... and the finished result is just gorgeous... your sense of colour is just so delightful...xx
ReplyDeleteGreat job on this. Also I think it's funny that you're an even bigger art subject stalker than I am.... cuz I do this too!
ReplyDeleteI love the looseness in your paintings Nora...this sounds like fun but I'm not sure I could do it as well as you!!
ReplyDeleteI so enjoy the sketch part of your art. You're a quick one with a pencil to capture so much in so little time. Awesome job! Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteAdmirable that you can paint things that move so quickly...just like Edgar Degas could! :)

ReplyDeleteHello Nora:) What a great idea! And the outcome is so beautiful. Love it! It looks very cozy over there:)
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful piece; you are so consistent with your work and I am awed.
ReplyDeleteI am so fascinated with your process, Nora, and thank you for sharing it. The constant motion and choices in selecting and composing your pieces give the viewer a wonderful sense of vitality and fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever way of doing it Nora! The results fit very well together and is captivating!
ReplyDeleteI love that you share your process...I learn from you so much and as you've told me this before I have tried it and it works beautifully. This group is delightful in what I have come to call Nora's colors! HPPF!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Your work is beautiful, Nora. :]
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful technique of how you draw a group of people.
Clever, inventive, and patient.
I always wondered how you did that! I would have to warm up a little before attempting it! I have taken a few life drawing workshops with the 2 minute sketches etc, and learning to keep the pencil on the paper to get a gesture is always hard when I first start. You do it all so well Nora!
ReplyDeleteI love your fun style!! Knowing your process is wonderful information!! Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful week!!

Amazing way to work! :) It is awesome, how you get the composition so right that way, you have a great mind! Love your translucent coloring!
ReplyDeleteThe composition and story is brilliant! The result is confident.
ReplyDeleteWell, it's been said before this comment, and all I can do is echo what other people have said: your work is fabulous, and your process to get many people into one composition is clever and quite a success!! And, thanks, Nora, thanks so much for visiting my blog and commenting. It gave me inspiration to get myself out into the blogsphere and comment too, as I know that it's such a joy to receive!
ReplyDeleteI smile each time I visit your blog. Your paintings are so much fun and so fresh. Wonderful expressions of life.
ReplyDeleteI like your style.
ReplyDeleteHappy PPF!
