Hand Practice
A 2/3 scale study of hands.
I like to show my students that I don't just talk, I practice what I preach. So I try to keep a project or two going there, working on it during lunch and my prep hour. We were talking about drawing hands in class. Students needed to draw 40 cartoon hands so I put it upon myself to sculpt a few. This small relief sculpture was an exercise in making realistic hands.
The finished piece with a bronze patina.
