Practicing painting hands for oil painting sketches made today by Gloria Poole,RN,artist of /in Missouri

I, Gloria Poole, RN, artist, have made much progress on the oil painting I am painting as I interpret the song by Edie Brickell and Steve Martin entitled "Remember me this way". I wrote on several blog posts of mine about that and why I am doing it on my https://gloriapoole.blogspot.com. But I have to paint in several sets of hands on that oil painting and I decided I needed to practice some before attempting that. these are the practice sketches .

This is the sketch I made practicing an art technique called foreshortening that is an optical illusion intended to make something look a certain way. For example a hand outstretched toward a viewer is seen as a large hand with a receding arm. I drew this in pencil first, than painted it. I re-drew it several times which is why I put cross-hatching around it to cover up some of the pencil marks. I made this, signed it, photographed it, uploaded it and posted it to this blog of mine, which is true of all art on this blog. I also photographed all photos on this blog. This is watercolor and inktense on 9x12 paper sketchbook.

,P>This is a second study of hands in various positions with their forearms. It is drawn and painted with inktense and then washed over with water. It is also 9x12 sketchbook form. I made this, signed it, photographed it, uploaded it and posted it to this blog of mine, which is true of all art on this blog.

This was supposed to be a woman's outstretched hand but I messed up the proportion on the thumb. I used purple chalk to create the background. This is 9 x 12 paper in my sketchbook of the moment. I made this, signed it, photographed it, uploaded it and posted it to this blog of mine, which is true of all art on this blog.

This is a graphic I made using an app that was on one of my electronic gadgets until cyber-criminals attacked me and it for being prolife. This is not the entire graphic as it was sliced into two halves by cyber-thieves it seems. I will adjust some security settings.

This is another graphic I made using that same app that was on one of my electronic gadgets until cyber-criminals attacked me and it for being prolife.

Abstract sketch innards made on 10th July 2015 by Gloria Poole, RN, artist of / in Missouri

This is an abstract sketch of a human's "innards" which is a country word for the organs of the human body inside the peritoneum and in the chest. I drew this in inktense and then put a wash of water over it. I use fine line markers to make the dots in the background. It is 9x12 in my sketchbook. I made it, signed it, photographed it, uploaded it and posted it to this blog of mine which is true for all art on this blog. I also photographed all photos on this blog.

This is an ethnic series sketch of a Texas Indian woman who was participating in the "Princess Pocahontas" festival. It purposefully does not look much like her as I considered her to be a private person [not a "celebrity" nor a Monarch, nor an elected official] and I make a deliberate effort not to make images of living private people unless they are "household names" i.e. in the news so much because of their "public figure" status that it is not a violation of privacy or copyright of their images. I made it, signed it, photographed it, uploaded it and posted it to this blog of mine which is true for all art on this blog. Obviously this is in my sketchbook which is 9 x 12 .

This is my effort to sketch a pink tree that I saw.I made it, signed it, photographed it, uploaded it and posted it to this blog of mine which is true for all art on this blog. You can tell from the signature that I created this with watercolor. I had too much water on my paintbrush when I signed it and so my signature 'ran" a bit from where I signed it. This is also in my newly-bought sketchbook.
