On holiday the other week I took to sketching people sat on benches. I worked a couple up to see what they looked like with the idea of doing a small set of work. Here are the first two. I liked this view of mother and daughter? with the girl sitting in a casual pose and the pair in deep conversation.

This one was of a couple in Manor Gardens, in Bexhill - the subject of a couple of paintings I posted recently. It looked like they made a habit of having their lunch in a shady spot in the gardens and looked well at home there. They observed the comings and goings and commented on them as they ate.

I tried to keep these painting loose, using a palette knife in parts. I am looking to do about four of them.

Other figurative work is available for sale on my website: grahammcquadefineart,com
