Drawing as Insight

In this right brain drawing exercise-

Choose an object to draw

I chose a cup….really staring at it

In a Contour Line Drawing way-

The eye moving slowly as does the hand

And at the same time

Bring to my mind- a personal problem

And see what is revealed by the Right Brain.

““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““

My eye loved the dark void-

The empty space of the cup’s center

Comforted too by it’s outer form- so solid.

The Yin and the Yang….

But for now-I lean toward the void.

Drawing as a kind of fortune telling..

The luxury of personal insight- it’s free.

““““““““““““““““““““““

In contour line drawing-

You stive to really see- so while staring at a object

You allow your pencil to form the line that your eye is seeing

You are not to look at your paper while your pencil is moving.

And the slower you go – the better.
