Drawing is the seed...the start of it all...the place where your love for a subject begins to express itself. Amidst the daily chores of doing dishes and pulling weeds, I often find the search for large chunks of time for painting to be relentless and nagging. After all, it takes me at least an hour to get into the zone, to shed the obsessions of life in hopes of arriving at the mindless freedom that painting is....at least for me. Drawing takes less time. Drawing requires fewer materials. Drawing requires less commitment. Drawing can be more mindless, as imperfections and misplaced lines reside comfortably next to passages that are more truthful. I enjoy their unfinished, unpolished, wabi-sabi qualities. Drawing is where my soul finds peace.
Drawing is where I find the excitement and commitment to pursue the subject in paint. Or not.
