A helping hand

[Jeanine Jackson]

This hand has great form! Your values and edges are inspirational.

I think the contour comments are more important than the ring position. Many of us mass the big shapes together in the early stages. My teacher, Passantino, says it is important - eventually - to consider each finger individually. Can you can see from the photo how each digit is actually going in a slightly different direction?

Rather than gnarly (a characteristic no woman would want!), I hope you capture the gentle interest from your excellent photo source. I also see cooler hightlights there which I would not comment on without seeing the entire painting.

I can't wait to see the big picture!
