leonardo learning: gesture

What is gesture but the revelation of character and mood? ( I coined that phrase) look at these dogs, I took a photo of them because it was so apparent that they are impatiently waiting to be walked, to get going--to hit the road...lets roll people...But my question is what about the dogs lets you know they are in that "mode" in humans a pose can tell all...leonardo spoke of this...is a figure twisting? Is there tension? What are the hands doing?--- hands tell a million tales. How do the movements of youth differ from that of the elderly? take notes!


there is looking and there is seeing...looking is like fast food and seeing is like eating a slow cooked piece of filet mignon. one must learn to SEE!
