It’s in truth more or less comforting that the truth of drawing is that there’s no secret. Maximum artists have doubt. I’ve all the time questioned: is there a secret? Is there one thing I don’t know? Is there a trick that folks must make easier? From what I’ve discovered, there isn’t! What I’m doing as of late is precisely the similar factor, with other gear, with other enter, however precisely the similar factor that I used to be doing when I used to be 12.
In this dialog, Niemann discusses his follow and procedure, how he consumes information and tradition, and the way his openness when experiencing a brand new town or house has modified because the pandemic started. The dialog veers from poetry, distillation, and the aim of artwork to the downsides of pitching and after all, to his profound and enduring love for the common-or-garden act of striking ink on paper.
