I never did until I took some watercolour classes here. My Italian teacher always puts a figure in his pictures. It made me wonder why I thought figures would spoil the effect, then I started worrying that perhaps I'm a misanthrope! So now I try to include one or two. <BR/><BR/>I think people and a dog, particularly, create a happy scene.Robyn Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663604160297996421noreply@blogger.com
