For gestures I remember "making coffee" or doing a woodworking project, pausing at various steps in the process. I'd have the artists try to guess what my routine was. 'Dropping' something like my coffee filter and stooping (and pausing) to pick it up always threw them off!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128238306438853545.post-3628568575191044902011-06-27T17:21:51.743-07:002011-06-27T17:21:51.743-07:00Kari,

I wish I had seen it years ago because your advice and observations are priceless. I've been working as an art model for several years now and I had to figure out this stuff for myself. Thanks.

He starts each 4-hour class with a session consisting of 20 30-second gestures followed by 10 1-minute gestures, then the next session is 10 2-minute gestures. Each session goes with longer and longer poses, often ending with a 20 to 40 minute pose. I really love these classes and especially the short gestures.Bearhttp://www.modelinsider.com/3141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128238306438853545.post-47040123707954273792010-10-04T17:26:59.673-07:002010-10-04T17:26:59.673-07:00I have put modeling on hold for sometime, and miss...I have put modeling on hold for sometime, and miss it dearly, but I would love to see more detail on gesture poses. I hope when I have established myself enough on my writing I can continue to sitting for artists and photographers again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128238306438853545.post-31430613878082831322010-10-02T16:39:28.047-07:002010-10-02T16:39:28.047-07:00I've done the "all gesture" sessions...I've done the "all gesture" sessions before. Fun because you can do things you'd never dream of doing for 30, 20 or even 10 minutes. Not so fun because it's a constant mental scramble thinking... okay, what should I do next? Post some self-pics if you choose, I'd love to see them if only to get some new ideas.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />BobBobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13243617944779325965noreply@blogger.com
