Drawing.

I admit to being really tired tonight. I didn't sleep well last night, thinking of family and home.

Class was great today and as I sit down before dinner I am putting ideas to paper to review class for tomorrow..

The student will explore creating a pattern and of course I always have one or two students who say, "I can't draw"

But maybe if they think about it like this…….the eye and hand combination are like a muscle, the more you use it the better you become at it.

Drawing helps you to see things better, sometimes you look at things differently and you explore alternative ways to do things

For me it begins with a place and that’s a jumping off point for imagination, creativity and exploration.

Place can be an object or a particular point in space.

As an Artist, I fall in love with places and it becomes part of me forever,  exotic and full of energy or huge, empty and full of possibility, it’s where almost anything can happen  – it becomes part of us forever.
