Gesture and line

The physical mark made by hand, whether in drawing or painting, carries information about speed, pressure, hesitation, and confidence that no description can replicate—gesture is where intention becomes visible. Learning to see and control gesture is fundamental to drawing, revealing how much emotional and structural information flows through the body into the work.
