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’).

100-101 Painted Trees Exercise


I did these a few days ago and forgot about them. They were painted with some cheap brushes on cartridge paper following a tutorial on the internet. I wasn't going to post them at first because they aren't great but this blog is about charting my progress which means posting the good, the bad and the downright ugly!
