Charcoal hand sketches by Helen Davison


Some quick sketches of hands made in this week’s class. I should really do much more practise of this kind as hands are so expressive and can add so much more to a figure or portrait study. I think the tendency is to build them up to be such a challenge, they can get left until the end, or avoided altogether. Actually, they are not as daunting as they seem, and thoughtful study will make them easier to tackle.
