For example, pencil produces a more analytic eye, while charcoal makes one more aware of light and form. As a drawer, I use the Japanese brush to direct my attention toward the kinetic energy that flows from my subject. We will work from the model for the whole day, drawing with the brush. I will demonstrate and show examples, but mostly I will work with each person individually as we engage in gesture drawing and more sustained studies.
