6th Entry for December 18, 2008







These were 5-minute poses. Where some of the other performers who have worked at Diane's studio spent more time completely off the ground, A- made good use of interaction with the floor as a part of her poses.

With the relative luxury of 5 minutes to draw, there is more time for shading & anatomical specifics. In my mind, though, the movement and spontaneity of a fast gesture pose underlies the longer drawing, in an intuitive way. I believe gesture studies, among other
things, instill a `muscle memory' of the proportions of body parts to one another, and how they move & bend.
