Dianne Mize Online Art Listing

Studying drawing and learning to draw well was the wisest and most significant step in my artistic development. Discovering how to look, how to make my hand follow what my eye sees, enables me to explore the visual world in a way unachievable by camera or by any visual technology. Maybe it's the eye connecting directly with the brain, maybe it's how the eye can chose what to explore and whether to examine the complexity or simplicity of the image. Maybe it is human interconnection with the world, the human interpretation of that connection. Whatever it is, there is no substitute for drawing. It's when I'm drawing that I discover traits and nuances that otherwise I would have missed, and it is through drawing that I establish a close relationship with my subject, especially when I find those ah-HA moments, the thrills of finding hidden stuff. And it is here that I get ideas for composition, thoughts that the subject suggests to me while I'm exploring it, concepts that would never surface without investigating the subject through drawing.
