I complain because I have "no time" to draw.
Today I am finding time.
Because my heart needs to Draw.
Subject: Small cast resin polar bear
Art Supplies:
Prismacolor colored pencils
Strathmore Toned Gray sketchbook (5.5" x 8.5")
Black pen
The eye and arm are tentative. Yet one must begin.
The more you look the more you see. And, yes, I decided from the start to make notes on the drawing. This way I don't feel pressed to create something that might be matted and framed. This practice is for PRACTICE. Learning. Relearning. Sort of like a musician practicing scales and fingering.
I was listening to an interview with Pema Chodron. Her "smile at fear" was worth the time. I am not good at smiling at fear.
This is as far as the drawing is getting tonight. It is not finished. I will keep at this bear until it has no more to teach me. Then I will draw another bear. Or a red leaf. Or a fork.
The subject is not as important as the drawing.
(To be continued.)
Fare-thee-well,
