Getting down to the ocean with my sketchpad makes me feel free and easy. I shift from my usual random thoughts to focus only on analyzing what I see and translating it into line.
Sometimes I forget how much I love drawing. I especially love to quickly capture the rhythm of a place without being too fussy.
Drawing is a meditation, a sprint and a conversation in another language all happening simultaneously. Through line I get to know just how the grass bends in the breeze. I can sense the weight of a wave descending as it curls.
Drawing helps me experience the wonder of the natural world. I let genuine awe sink in and then have a recording (the drawing) to remind me.
Enjoy!
