The Wittig Report - on the Interface Between Life and Art

-------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to the Wittig Report...

On the one hand there is 'Art,' and on the other hand, there is 'Life,'

...and somewhere in the middle, they meet.

June produced 40 drawings, and one short art-related essay.

I am learning that the real 'trick' to mastering drawing and

sketching, for me at least, is to practice daily, and make it an

ingrained habit.

I began my career in painting without having a solid grounding in the

use of pencil and paper, but I do not intend to let this situation

continue indefinitely.

Heh! Imagine that... a grown man, being afraid of a sketch pad.<g>

"Aim for the stars... and maybe you will clear the tree tops." -I have

no idea, who said this.

Article: Drawing/ Sketching - Art vs. Craft

"There I was, reading through a pile of messages on one of the

art-related mailing lists I frequent, when I tripped over a comment

from another poster, that hit me right between the eyes. What the

fellow... I think his name was Byron... said that impressed me, was

something like "Draw until you want to draw."

Featured Website - Peter Waite

I found this fellow's website while looking for something else. His

work is excellent, and the website is very quick to load. All in all,

viewing his work was a pleasurable and informative experience.
