Sketching the Buddha in Graphite Pencil

May 31, 2023/in Art Process, Blog, Creative Life, Drawing, Graphite, Sketching

I just recorded this sketching session for my upcoming “Sketching for Life – Challenge 2023”, taking place june 16th – 26th 2023.

In the above video I muse about why it is so important to draw from real life, and how it connects us to the beauty around us in a profound and even spiritual way.

Drawing from life nurtures our  our artistical style and language and expands our imagination, so we gradually train the ability to draw what is in our minds eye, our visionary realm.

Setting time aside each day to do a little bit of sketching can work magic in your creative life. Watch the video to get all the little gold nuggets of art musing.
