One of the difficult things about doing multifigural paintings is composing the figures so that they are aesthetically pleasing, relate well with one another spatially and conceptually, and best tell the desired story.
Here I have laid in the figure’s heads in color. This is the stage where I can really see if they work well with one another. I think I need to add a couple more figures to give more depth and to show more of a ‘mob’ feeling. I’ve added a few strokes next to the man with the gun over his head where I plan to add one of them. I think the other will be around the inside of the same man’s elbow.
