On drawing
As a painter, experience has taught me that each artist has their small amount of territory: their small talent gives them a deeply felt relationship with an aspect of Nature. In drawing, the struggle to prove this has very little to do with copying what is seen. A better image to describe the artistic effort is the losing of oneself in the subject and of the subject in oneself so that these two become one. The more intimate and confiding the drawing of the space, the more magical the effect.
