Visionary Drawing<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Visualize Your Drawing<\/h2>\n

It is necessary to say something about drawing<\/strong> Vision in the first place, if we are to have any grasp of the idea of form.<\/p>\n

An act of vision is not so simple a matter as the student who asked her master if she should \u201cBe drawing<\/em> nature as she saw nature\u201d would seem to have thought.<\/p>\n

And his answer, \u201cYes, madam, provided you don\u2019t see nature as your Drawing<\/span> nature,\u201d expressed the first difficulty the student of drawing has to face: the difficulty of learning to see.<\/p>\n

Let us roughly examine what we know of vision drawing. Science tells us that all objects are made visible to us by means of light; and that white light, by which we see things in what may be called their normal aspect, is composed of all the colors of the solar spectrum, as may be seen in a rainbow; a phenomenon caused, as everybody knows, by the sun\u2019s rays being split up into their component parts.<\/p>\n

This light travels in straight lines and, striking objects before us, is reflected in all directions. Some of these rays passing through a point situated behind the lenses of the eye, strike the retina.<\/p>\n

The multiplication of these rays on the retina produces a picture of whatever is before the eye, such as can be seen on the ground glass at the back of a photographer\u2019s camera, or on the table of a camera obscura, both of which instruments are constructed roughly on the same principle as the human eye.<\/p>\n

These rays of light when reflected from an object, and again when passing through the atmosphere, undergo certain modifications.<\/p>\n

Should the object be a red one, the yellow, green, and blue rays, all, in fact, except the red rays, are absorbed by the object, while the red is allowed to escape. These red rays striking the retina produce certain effects which convey to our consciousness the sensation of red, and we say \u201cThat is a red object.\u201d<\/p>\n

But there may be particles of moisture or dust in the air that will modify the red rays so that by the time they reach the eye they may be somewhat different.<\/p>\n

This modification is naturally most effective when a large amount of atmosphere has to be passed through, and in things very distant the color of the natural object is often entirely lost, to be replaced by atmospheric colors, as we see in distant mountains when the air is not perfectly clear. But we must not stray into the fascinating province of color.<\/p>\n

Now you can see how our mind and eyes visualize colors.But we all visualize things in different ways.Always be true to yourself.What I mean is you may have a different outlook of a drawing than myself.<\/p>\n

Every drawing speaks to us<\/a> all in different ways,so learn to visualize your drawings and your drawings will always be unique to you.<\/p>\n
