Gestures

an ode to gesture drawing

some (way too quick) time-based studies based on references from quickposes.com

no time to second guess
but don’t rush the process
visualise movement within stillness
find secret curves and shapes
within the bigger picture
simple lines telling a greater story

not trying to copy or define
you are trying to feel
what is pulling at the eye
what is happening now
what just happened before
what’s next

no matter what
whether the gesture or the artist
wins the round
the artist learns
something new
something tangible
ineffable
something to take
on the next
art adventure
and into the
everyday——
wherever the eye leads
