Drawing was never my strong suit in the art world. I actually hated it. I didn't understand why you would render something to such realism, when you could just take a picture. I would "sketch" out compositional lines for pieces, but never would I have sat down to draw what I see, until Riomaggiore. I perched myself on the rocks and was immediately drawing. I find that my own personal qualifications for drawing were unattainable, because that is not me. I look for pattern, negative space and texture relationships, and I am now OK with that. Now I draw everyday, from life, from a photograph what have you, but I use it to decipher the code of what I see, not to duplicate it. The option that I had at the time for color, was high-lighters. It turned out to be the partner-in-crime I needed:)
