The human form is a landscape of hills and valleys, of roadways and rivers. I travel across the landscape, recording each step in charcoal.How wonderful it was to find a local life study class! The class provided an excellent opportunity to begin rebuilding direct observation skills and reacquaint myself with form, proportion, and foreshortening.
I was reminded of the value of the gesture drawing - a quick sketch to capture movement, weight, and emotion. Slowly my hand and mind loosen and begin to work as one.
