The flow of vision and imagination | Sir Christopher Le Brun | Living Library
"In this film, Sir Christopher Le Brun reflects on the role of drawing within his distinguished artistic practice and its fundamental place in society. He discusses how drawing allows an idea to emerge and often becomes the starting point for a painting, showing both small sketchbook studies and larger abstract works. Le Brun considers drawing to be a fundamental human activity that can speak to people of any age. Describing his approach as fluid and lyrical, he compares the qualities of a painting to those of a musical composition. Rather than beginning with a fixed image, he works through what he calls the flow of enjoyment, vision and imagination.
The Royal Drawing School is the independent, artist-led and not-for-profit home of observational drawing. We exist to ensure artists and creatives everywhere can access worldleading skills-based drawing tuition regardless of background, age or circumstance. We aim to bring new audiences to drawing and to champion our practice for this generation and the next." from the video introduction
