The Drawing Year has absorbed me utterly and completely. I have lost track of the news and only occasionally remember that there is, indeed, a world outside the studio, class, and art museums. Today I was scanning some watercolours and remembered just how much I love watercolour (I haven’t done any since coming to London). Sometimes I feel like watercolours do most of the work for me, I just have to watch them play.
