Being Present
Willingly I just stop thinking and feel my breath inhale and fill myself up with my presence. Appreciating being alive is a natural feeling, and I do this before I begin the DRAW or PAINT.
It's like when you have been speaking for a long time and then you want to sing - well first you have to build up some air in your system as requires speaking a staccatto rhythmn of air and singing needs long exhalations to hold notes.
Drawing and painting are languages and they have a frame of reference in presence like everything else. You can want to draw something or you can begin to be, feel and draw... the act of allowing yourself to be first allows you a space to come into drawing and creating.
