On drawing
In their different ways oil painting, aquatints, charcoal drawings, watercolours and sketchbooks require that you draw intensely, attentively and as if everything depended on the result. Increasingly it is a state of mind, concentrating on the subject more than the means or on skills that permits a coming together of elements which may mean nothing individually but seen together make an appalling truth, a sombre beauty, a dance of joy.
