Painting this village scene today. Summer light strong shadows and a figure in action
Sketch
Figure had to me made correctly. So spent some time to do it in detail.
Process
Painted the background next... It has to be in light value so that more paper is seen to simulate the summer light.
Foreground bushes needs to be painted with high contrast. And near ones almost black.
Finally the figure.
Final
