Presence, this one is all about presence. In your sketchbook draw something that happened today,
draw something you saw, especially something that meant something to you where you felt something.
- that sure is a lot of somethings!!!
The newspaper is especially a wonderful tool, a little intense but that's what we are
looking for here. Do a quick drawing, or a small watercolor about the event.
Example: The Green Peace boat trying to stop a Japanese whaling ship. The article said the whales
were already so polluted that the Japanese government wouldn't let the fishermen sell the whale anyway. Oh...so sad
for me to know that the whale themsleves were so sick from human pollution. So I did a small, sad drawing.
The point of this exersise is to allow and practice real time energy and events into your art. Your art might transend time
and space, it might be about other worlds, other times, but does it touch now. The practice of
real time events is very powerful, beyond words and more about trying it out and seeing / feeling what is there
/ here. And then seeing what evolves.
