Whether you are a painter, draughtsman, sculptor or potter, you most likely have used drawing to begin, refine or examine your finished work. In this hour, Val and Armin discuss the many ways drawing has played important roles in their art journeys. Sketching can be the spark of an idea that will ultimately become a detailed graphite drawing in Armin's world, while a gestural charcoal mark-making session can be an active underpainting for a future abstraction in Val's. Each of them use drawings to solve problems, record details, journal thoughts, and just dream. They encourage you to look for ways you can develop your drawings skills to express yourselves in ways that can be as simple as sketching on cocktail napkins to committing many hours to a finished large-scale artwork.
