Talk about “kicking it up a notch!” You’ve taken the common sketch exercise of drawing our hand and given it a whole new dimension — these are FANTASTIC!!
These are terrific, Ronell! The drawings are even more expressive than the gestures! I wouldn’t have imagined I could enjoy your work so much without the juicy colour I’m used to seeing in it, but your recent sepia/coffee sketches are top notch.
Yes, good hand espressions, especially those of a woman – and add in a certain “eye” contact and you have spoken volumes – GREAT hand sketches and the washes bring it Home!! And through it all, you have remained a Lady
😉
I am loving your body drawings – your life drawings are wonderful too. BTW I turned off the “related posts” feature of wordpress too – so annoying for carefully crafted blogs.
Most expressive – love the use of sepia type ink. Must comment on the ironing humerous cartoons – really made me laugh as I never iron anything unless I have to – just smooth after grabbing out of the tumble drier!! .. unfortunately summer is on the way and I have cotton clothes which will need some effort on my part to look decent. Like the sponteneity of your work.
These are wonderful Ronell! I don’t think in the US we use many hand gestures (except explicit ones). I love the ink washes. We will begin ink next week in figure class, I’m so excited about that! I have begun playing with Walnut Ink…I like it!

Ronell! These are FABULOUS!!! I just LOVE the wash in them — and the gestures — incredible!!! BRAVA, mia cara!! These are really so so well done!
You are funny – that’s wonderful! I haven’t learnt to talk with my hands yet. Or sketch hands as well as you!
I love this whole series. Something so common and yet grouping them with a purpose is wonderful.

these are great!
is it a watercolour moleskine?
Great study! I love all of them…though you forgot one hand signal I often see coming from cars…especially honking ones 🙂
Marvellous! When are you going to do the book?

How fabulously lively!
Really strong gestures, and great washes!

GREAT hands!!!
These are beautiful and expressive hands. Just wonderful with the washes!!!
Wonderfully expressive, Ronell!
Top Notch!!! Love ’em, Ronell!
Great this post. Hands that talk.
Well done Ronell! These are so expressive, and you picked exactly the right medium.
These are really expressive illustrations. Your illustrations manage to have such life in them!
How the hands can speak! lovely!
This is so original. Love your figure paintings too.
Very expressive hands here Ronell!!
These are GREAT! You’ve got the wash just right.
Fabulous hands, Ronell – can see also in your self-portraits on the right, they play a big part in expressing yourself!

Fantastic hands Ronell!
Love them talking hands 🙂
I think there was more than just the hand talking here. Great pen work!
I love these! You completely conveyed the expressive nature of hands. fabulous!

Wonderful hand sketches, Ronell! I love the colour ~ 🙂
Hi Ronell
I think I have used a few of these gestures quite often at some point in the last few months.
As you know I love hand sketches, and these wonderful.
Great sketches! These gestures are so well caught…
