"Drawing philosophy"...

My thoughts about drawing coincides with these statements...

"Drawing from observation is immediate. It requires the feeling: intense sensation, vision, velocity and instant execution. It does not admit any subsequent amendments that we would be noticed inevitably... Whether it's an apple, a face or a tree it's always revelation of a truth that the subtle viewer will discern without hesitation."


"When a head, an apple, a tree or a piece of bread, beat and subjugate, the hand will follow and communicate through the line or spot, the visual emotion." *

Avigdor Arikha


"Ayez toujours un carnet en poche et notez en quatre coups de crayon les objets qui vous frappent, si vous n'avez pas le temps de les indiquer entièrement. Mais si vous avez le loisir de faire un croquis plus précis, emparez-vous du modèle avec amour, envisagez-le et reproduisez-le sous toutes ses formes, de manière à le loger dans votre tête, a l'y incruster comme votre propriété".
