The Art of Drawing

Sadness is definitely a great impetus to the talents of an artist. "Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures" ~ Henry Ward Beecher. True. You can just see the different nature of different people, according to what their arts produce. I love also what Pablo Picasso said about painting. "Painting is just another way of keeping a diary". Sometimes we keep diaries, and we're just afraid someone might read them. The beautiful thing for artists is that they hide their words in the lines of their art. "Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen."  ~Leonardo da Vinci. Although I don't paint, I draw, these are still applicable to any type of art you do. Because as Amy Lowell said: "Art is the desire of a man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in." And also famous painter Igor Babailov has said: "Even when you paint, you never stop drawing." The thought I live in today.
