Drawing is about Seeing

I love to draw. Drawing is about seeing, making marks, erasing, making more marks and seeing some more ..... I love the process!

Drawing in Pencil of Tree Branch by Barbara J Hart 28"x20"

Drawing is a discipline used to gather information. It's my way of converting an idea into a simple line, a way of making marks on paper. When I draw, the subject takes on a life of it’s own, and  it brings an awareness of the value of every day objects.

"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, The Natural Way to Draw.
