RODERICK SMITH the fine art of drawing
The Value of Drawing
“Drawing is pursuit. A mysterious journey through the shadow of time. You never know what will emerge through the veil that surrounds each one of us. A strange light on a distant hill. A poetic verse. A woman carrying a violin. It is the muse calling out. If you can see it and believe it, then you might just be able to reach out and touch it. Art is all about the touch. The hands moving with the spirit creating an alchemy of form with color and line.”
Drawing with Colored Pencils
Drawing with colored pencils has many delightful qualities. It is simple and direct, highly portable, making travel sketching a great companion on your next adventure. The dazzling arrays of color allow for a full palette exploration. The simple gestures in drawing open the world around us to unexpected insights and encounters. The intimacy of this medium allows for moments of quiet observation or wildly expressive escapes of the imagination.
Teaching Drawing
Everyone can enjoy the deep pleasure of drawing and sketching. Experience is not a prerequisite. With instruction you will learn about the materials available and how each differs from the other. Basic concepts of design and expression are discussed. The central core is to learn to love the medium for its own sake. To be able to escape in a delicate and personal way to the path of your own understanding.
