Rule one. I must be able to paint the figure accurately and also must be able to imbue that painting with the character and personality of the subject.
It’s difficult. But once one is able to do this so many other possibilities are available to the artist. Something to do with walking and running.
My teacher of many years ago, Jack Youngquist, started me on this track and I owe him everything. Other artists have influenced me as well. John Singer Sargent leads that list.
