I was going through my studio and came across this demo exercise on painting figures.  This is a great way to simplify figures from a photograph. With tracing paper, trace the shapes with a fine tip black marker and shade the shadows.

Redraw the figures on watercolor paper and paint with 2 colors. I used ultramarine blue and raw sienna.
