The experience of drawing and painting on location has become the most important element of my art process. I love spending time in a natural habitat, increasing a connection and understanding of the rhythms of the wildlife there.
DRAWING ON LOCATION
The experience of drawing and painting on location has become the most important element of my art process. I love spending time in a natural habitat, increasing a connection and understanding of the rhythms of the wildlife there.
I enjoy discovering and describing the specific characteristics of wildlife using observation, memory, and expressive drawing techniques. Other senses become involved other than the visual.
Both art-making and spending time in nature have been shown to improve mental well-being.
Please scroll down to see examples of my drawings and paintings from life.
I hope to encourage other artists to draw from experience, employing a variety of methods, to develop a responsive visual language.
