17 days of #daily #drawing practice. I choose a random item and take 20-30mins with a morning coffee and sketch it in silence. It’s all about observation, looking at an object (shape, shadow, colour and light) and ‘looking’ at myself (mind, emotion, narrative etc). I keep the subject going for as long as I can, filling the page with as many versions as I can fit. I also write short notes about the experience.

I am not an #artist - I am using art as a forcing function. I want to improve the way I see both the physical world around me and the non physical world within. There are landscapes in both places that I have never seen before. In principle I know that there are discoveries to be made. I am exercising a form of faith that this process will reveal a path worth following.
