"He (the artist) moves through life as he finds it, not passing negligently the things he loves, but stopping to know them and to note them down in the shorthand of his sketch book...He is looking for what he loves, he tries to capture it. It's found anywhere, everywhere. Those who are not hunters do not see these things. The hunter is learning to see and to understand --to enjoy."
--Robert Henri
This quote is quite inspiring and very true to it's point. I always carry my sketch book around with me where ever I go. I also keep it with me when I have an idea come to me as well, to capture it at that moment before something else tries to takes it's place. I liked the part in the reading where it says no one would have drawn it quite like you. When I look at all the art around, there are so many different drawings of the same things, animals, landscapes, people. But what makes each one unique is their own perspective of it.
