Weekly Drawing
How is is possible that 3 accomplished (and mature) artists find it advantageous to make a pact with one another to complete (and “submit” to one another), one drawing per week? Not a sketch idea for a painting or a thumbnail to work out a composition or a preliminary drawing for rendering in another medium. A drawing done for its own sake….for no other purpose than to enjoy the process. I love to draw. I have always loved to draw. But somehow I had gotten out of the habit of just drawing for the pure enjoyment of it. We are 5 weeks into this “project”, and I am loving it…..I am seeing more each day as I consider my next drawing. And I am now doing more than just one drawing per week……just for the fun of it. I find the process itself to be a form of meditation.

“I don’t go to the studio with the idea of “saying” something.
What I do is face the blank canvas and put a few marks on it
that start me on some sort of dialogue.”
Richard Diebenkorn
EXACTLY!
