Learn different ways to see & capture gesture in my class.
Why study gesture?
Gesture helps show the "story" of a picture or character. It's movement & body language. I use it a lot.
Gestural Figure Study starts Tuesday, March 10.
At The Atelier Studio Program of Fine Arts

(This was a joint effort between myself & my spouse. We brainstormed together and the idea of the gummie dino eating Christmas trees was his brilliant idea. Fun! I digitally edited & repainted my Gummie Bronto Snack Time oil painting).
