Class Experience

Next to faces, hands are the most expressive part of the human body. So why do so many young artists hide hands in pockets and behind objects? 

When a hand is drawn wrong, we notice. It jumps out at us just like a wrong face does. This creates an aversion to drawing them. So, in this one-time class, I show students a few simple techniques to draw hands in a pleasing way. We learn all of the useful poses and they get a printable drawing guide for each one.

Like all my classes, we move along at a steady pace, occasionally pausing for me to review and advise students on their progress. 

After the course, continue drawing with me by joining my group, Draw More With Jerry Joe Seltzer

Supply List
Students need blank paper and pencil. Nothing fancy. Any old paper and pencil will do although I recommend against lined (ruled) paper.
