DRAWINGS By Gerald King

Sketching at Music Junction Several years ago I started to take my sketchbook to the Saturday evening music program at the local used bookshop. They called the program Music Junction (see links) and it featured mostly local artists who had attained somewhat of a reputation. Some, in my humble opinion, were vary good. I enjoyed my time by trying to sketch them as they played. Often I would try to draw several figures in loose compositions. This has been a healthy artistic experience. These are not finished illustrations. They are loose approximations of the activities. |
Drawing is not only the foundation of art, it is the means by which an artist connects to his subject. To know someone or something in reality is not to know them as art. Such an understanding can only come from the process of drawing or an intimate study of a work of art. To know a subject as the artist knows it, requires that the viewer first study the the work as a drawing. It is through this study that the viewer may enter the work and realize the profundity of the subject and the artist who produced the art. Artists are not born. They are self made and proud of it.
