The very act of drawing an object, however badly, swiftly takes the drawer from a wooly sense of what the object looks like to a precise awareness of its component parts and particularities.
(Alain de Botton)
It is often said that Leonardo drew so well because he knew about things; it is truer to say that he knew about things because he drew so well.
(Kenneth Clark)
Hello,Mister Ian.I have known you through books translated into Italian.
ReplyDeleteYesterday I visited the botanical artist's blog and I found your blog and the magnificent collection of drawings.
The world has changed so that pupils and teachers have become small spaces! I thank you for what I have learned by reading books by you! And now I thank you for sharing these beautiful "sketches".
