I've been painting a bit of quick hand studies, only 25minute poses. So often I paint head studies and figures but never seem to have enough time to get to the hands.

Great job on the hands Marci! Your work gets better and better all the time. I also like the little landscape you posted a couple of weeks ago.
One of the best ways to study hands (and feet) is to draw or paint your own. Just need a larger mirror. or you can do it the social way, which is more fun, but also more expensive.
Thanks Brian,
I've tried sketching my left hand as I draw with my right but never thouht of painting it, and looking through a mirror. What a great Idea. I'll give it a try.
Oh and the feet thing, well I may leave that one be for just a little while.
