Learn To Really See

"Learning to draw is really a matter of learning to see, to see correctly,
and that means a good deal more than merely looking with the eye."
~ Kimon Nicolaides

 Day 51 ~ SE-51-25

I Am Still Seeking

"I am seeking. I am striving. I am in it with all my heart." ~ Vincent van Gogh I added a background wash and beefed up some of my line work today. Sometimes you just have to try things out and not worry about 'ruining' your piece. There is no other way of learning. Which way do you like this watercolor sketch better, with or without a background?

Day 41 ~ SE-41-25

It's Not Enough

 “It’s not enough to love animals; we must actively protect and preserve them.

It’s our duty and responsibility as custodians of this planet.”

~ Daphne Sheldrick

 Day 24 ~ SE-24-25

A World Without Insects

"Who has decided – who has the right to determine for the countless regions of people who were not consulted, that the supreme value is a world without insects, even though it would also be a world ungraced by the curving wing of a bird in flight?"

~ Rachel Carson, Silent Spring, 1962

Day 23 ~ SE-23-25

 

In 2021, I Was Drawing Every Day And I Couldn't Stop!!

 “Learning to draw is really a matter of learning to see; to see correctly, and that means a good deal more
than merely looking with the eye.”

Live Bravely and Choose a Challenge

 “Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure.
You have no security unless you can live bravely,
excitingly, imaginatively; unless you can choose
a challenge instead of competence.”
~ Eleanor Roosevelt
