"A day without drawing feels empty and several days drive me crazy!"

"A day without drawing feels empty and several days drive me crazy!"

View my complete profile
Welcome to my blog!:

This is about sharing a painting and drawing process. Not an academic process, rather my way of working, searching and continuing learning.

I've met many interesting people and friends through this page the last seven years, and I have also got the pleasure to teach watercolor painting in Paris. I thank everyone for their precious support and interest in my work.

Please feel free to contact me for any question, or if you wish to purchase or use any of my work.
As I mention further down in this column you can find reproductions of my work for sale on "One Kings Lane's" website.

Thank you for your visit!

My thoughts about drawing coincides with these statements :

"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. It is always the revelation of a truth that the subtle viewer will discern without hesitation."


"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."


Avigdor Arikha


"Always have a book in hand and note in four strokes the objects that strike you, if you do not have time to fully state it. But if you have the opportunity to make a more accurate sketch, study the model with love, consider it and express it under all its forms, so as it stays in your head, embed it there as your property."
