back to drawing 3 minute sketches

There is nothing like picking up a piece of graphite or a wax crayon in this case and drawing. Looking mainly and looking again and then looking again. Maybe looking most of the time. An exercise in actually seeing what is there as opposed to what I think might be there. And of course people, who are darlings, will only stay still for you for what seems like a nano second so speed and accuracy is of the essence. Sometimes it works. I have a lovely artist friend who says “the first 3 minutes are heaven and then it all goes downhill!”. It’s also very exciting, thrilling even. And there are so many really amazing faces around. The landscape of the mind shown in the face….lovely!
