“It is in the order to really see, to see ever deeper, ever more intensely, hence to be fully aware and alive, that I draw what the Chinese call ‘The Ten Thousand Things’ around me. Drawing is the discipline by which I constantly rediscover the world.
I have learned that what I have not drawn, I have never really seen, and that when I start drawing an ordinary thing, I realize how extraordinary it is”.
(Frederick Franck, ‘The Zen of Seeing’).

205 - A Farm near Leadgate
A pencil sketch of a farm near Leadgate early morning. It was drawn using a photo I took as reference, I'm trying to build my confidence up to going out in the field to paint.
