Description
Lesson 1, the challenge for my students was to learn that bananas have a logic of structure particular to them and that in fact, drawing involves understanding what is happening in a 4th dimension, the dimension of change, each 3 dimensional mass of facets has a will of its own to change through space. So in learning to draw they were almost immediately drawn to getting the details right and always missed the will of the thrusting banana, a lovely thing not easily to be ignored. And how, after you finally got your drawing right, did you get the elusive water to espouse that logic without a second chance or lose that exquisite transparence to a muddy sort of platitudinal opaqueness? This first lesson was both the easiest and the most difficult, students had to forget decades of playing with crayons and surrender to the myriad accidents of water, buckling cotton paper and pig-headed pigments.
