The Power of Sketching & Drawing – to capture a memory forever
Whenever I go through my many sketchbooks, each containing sketches and drawings made over the years, I am immediately taken back to that time – such is the power of sketching and drawing.
These are visual journals – words in pictures, but so much more than that – they also depict the emotions of the moment, or the characteristics of the event or scene. I can recall all this and so much more, because I had to closely observe the subject, to capture its essence.
Such as the time when we had taken a group of artists for a painting week in Portugal and something that happened on one particular day, when we were all out and about painting in Estoi Palace.
Watch this Video to discover more about the event that inspired Paul Taggart’s Essential Sketching & Drawing Guide.
The Gift of Sketching & Drawing – to Last a Lifetime
The simplest of sketches can be jotted down on a scrap piece of paper, with whatever you have to hand by way of a drawing tool – the result doesn’t matter. It is what that sketch comes to signify, which is important – whether it serves as a visual memory, or as an inspiration for a painting.
That first sketch can lead to a lifetime of creativity, which is therapeutic on so many levels – I should know, for it is through my earliest of sketches, as a very young child, that my passion for creating artworks began - a passion that not only forged my professional life, but also stimulates my every waking day.
A passion that Eileen and I are thrilled to share through our art tutorials – a passion to last a lifetime.
We thank you for reading our latest news and for your continued interest in our work and, as ever, send best wishes, from Eileen and myself,”
