Varnberg Poses

Gesture drawing, one wooden figure at a time.

Choose where the poses come from, how long each one holds and how many there are. Press start. A mannequin takes a pose, the clock runs, you draw. Time is up, the next figure steps in.

Sitting
Standing, action, seated or mixed figures, posed fresh for every sitting.
Or the eighteen classics: lunge, kneel, reach, throw, bow and the rest.
30 seconds to 5 minutes a pose. 5 to 20 poses a sitting.
Pause, skip or end early. A short buzz marks each change.

Line of action
One sanguine curve from head to standing foot. On to study the rhythm. Off to find it yourself.

Poses
Keep any figure worth returning to. Mirror it. Run a whole sitting from your kept poses.

Log
Each finished sitting, with poses drawn and minutes at the easel. Totals and a day run at the top.

Buff paper by day. Charcoal studio by night.

No sign-up needed.
