During my two week vacation I did manage to complete one drawing (which I did during the 6 hour flight to Seattle). It is more of a study than a completed drawing and I’ve learned a huge lesson from it. I didn’t realize the impact of creating a drawing from a different angle or viewpoint. So here I was on the plane and I was reclining and I had my drawing pad on the tray table while I drew my husband sleeping in the seat beside me. My drawing was perpendicular to my body so when I drew the relationships it looked good from my angle but once I was finished I held up the drawing and oh my, it was all distorted. It’s an interesting phenomena. For some artist that’s what there all about, see Julian Beever’s art. He creates pavement drawings that are supposed to be viewed from a certain viewpoint and when their not, they become very distorted.
