This week Draw What You Love proudly presents… Seaweed Legs! (look closely and you can see the feet change size a little, at the point they break the water). Also in the line up this week is a blackbird singling (I can hear its melodious tune as I look at the drawing); beautiful wisteria (I can smell that heavenly scent); a spring flowering Christmas present (what a great gift); Derbyshire daffodils (I can sense them dancing in the breeze); and somebody’s favourite fruit, a banana (I can sense its sweet taste); a delicious coffee (I can inhale the rich aroma) and much loved headphones. Each if these drawings takes me to my own experience of each of the subjects and affirms everything I love about the world.
‘We were made to enjoy music, to enjoy beautiful sunsets, to enjoy looking at the billows of the sea and to be thrilled with a rose that is bedecked with dew…’ - Desmond Tutu
This week, if you choose, really enjoy your subject matter! Have a party while you draw, revel in it, smile, laugh, you could even have a little celebratory dance while you draw! Take great joy in the seeing and the drawing! Notice how that feels.
