About |
| The painter draws with
his eyes, not with his hands. Whatever he sees, if he
sees it clear, he can put down. The putting
of it down requires, perhaps, much care and labor, but no
more muscular agility than it takes for him to write his
name. Seeing clear is the important thing. - Maurice Grosser The Painter's Eye |

| In oneself lies the whole
world and if you know how to look and learn, then the
door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on
earth can give you either the key or the door to open,
except yourself. - J. Krishnamurti You Are the World |

| Many artists have spoken
of seeing things differently while drawing and often
mentioned that drawing puts them into a somewhat altered
state of awareness. In that different subjective state,
artists speak of feeling transported, "at one with
the work", able to grasp relationships that they
ordinarily cannot grasp. Awareness of the passage of time
fades away, and words recede from consciousness. Artists
say that they feel alert and aware yet are relaxed and
free of anxiety, experiencing a pleasurable, almost
mystical activation of the mind. - Betty Edwards Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain |
