Painting the Figure Plein Air

I am taking a 3-day plein air "paint the figure" workshop on the beach in Dana Point from Peggi Kroll Roberts.  Yesterday morning we had some sunshine, but by noon, it was raining.  So, yesterday afternoon and all day today, we have been inside.  We were not able to paint in oil so we painted in either watercolor or gouache.  We still had our live model and it was still great fun!

Here are a couple ink/watercolor studies I did.  I found that when I drew in pencil, I spent so much time erasing and trying to make it "perfect".  So, I decided to go for it in ink.  You will notice many lines that have correcting lines (like the angle of the foot, etc.) - but I just kept going.  Fingers crossed for sunshine tomorrow.
