Welcome



“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’).

53-57 Sketching on newspapers






There is something about sketching on a printed page that is really satisfying. I think it's because you are not starting with a nice white surface, it's less daunting and I strongly recommend giving it a go. A cheap paper source and subjects to boot, what more could you ask for? -I suppose you could read it as well!
