this is a well painted hand. I keep this picture on my phone to study how it was made. it has taught me so much about painting. do you think you know what it teaches? tell me.
I am currently working on my anatomy notebook. part of this study is to practice drawing body parts. Toes, knees, noses, eyes … all parts. each page gets its own subject. a page full of eyes from every direction with every expression. a page of hands in all configurations. young old fat skinny. I need to practice every body type. my challenge to you, if you would like to help me with this, is to take your digital camera or cell phone camera and snap some picture of your parts and send them to me. no part is too small or too big. shoot from above or below. you can deliver your pics by testing to me or by email. if you send me picks I will assume you agree to the model agreement found on my website. your photos will never be displayed anywhere. only the drawings that I make of them. thanks for your help with this project.
One of the actual copper plates that Rembrandt made etchings from. I just had to sit for a while and make a silverpoint drawing of it. ill post it here later.
