hey everybody it's Roya today's painting follow the conversation follow the conversation I had with somebody and that person said why painting people which you know obvious answer is why not why do anything else but I understand that some kind of explanation is required after this question my honest first answer is I don't know that's the honest first answer but I can talk about it some some ways and come up with the explanation what is fascinating to me with painting figures is that I think painting plein air
