Study of Hands

TODO — placeholder text. Replace with Arosh’s own description of the piece.

Six studies on one sheet, most of them of a bow hold — which is a convenient subject when you spend an hour a day looking at your own right hand anyway.

Hands are mostly a lesson in restraint about knuckles. The moment each joint gets its own outline the whole thing stops reading as flesh.
