drawing again
Drawing is the thing. Drawing, drawing, drawing.
Learn to draw, they say, and the rest follows as night follows day. This applies mainly outside the arctic circle, obviously. They say this [who they?] because to draw successfully you have to be able to see, and if you can see you can paint.
It is true that in fact painting as a physical business is easier than drawing. To cover a huge piece of paper in graduated charcoal takes some doing, with a 60mm brush and a bucket of burnt umber it is an easy, and not to say exciting, task.
I’m drawing at the moment, standing figures, life size – lot of dirty finger charcoal, and aching arm.
