1st entry for Aug 11, 2012

The Saturday afternoon was the second `Gesture Boot Camp' session, and Zia was working that day. These are 30-second and 1-minute poses from early on, all done with hard compressed charcoal on 18 x 24" sheets of bond paper.
Gesture drawing is an important foundation of figure drawing, and it is part of both the Introductory figure drawing class I teach Saturday mornings in the fall, and the Intermediate figure drawing class I teach on Wednesday evenings. Both are at the Toronto School of Art
