This sketch of someone picking seeds from a pomegranate was used to think about the hands on a painting I started a while back from a photo. I had wanted to change the hands around some, and that brought me to a halt on the painting... thus the decision to do a study for the third sketch-a-day sketch, although I don't plan on restarting this painting until I finish a different one...
the hand to the left (the right hand of the person in the picture) is beautifully rendered.
ReplyDeleteThank you... I think it's obvious I'm still fighting with the left hand, but then again that's why I had to do a study - to work out fingers in a way I'll enjoy painting. I know many people supposedly try to avoid hands, but I think they are potentially (!) very graceful and I love trying to do them.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I think this person's left hand would go well on ET... maybe that long middle finger glows? I'll just redraw it again before I am anywhere near to painting this...
