Tell us a bit about your experience doing the Daily Drawing Project:
When I set down to draw these tulips, I was nervous. I am not a drawer, and can only draw enough to do stick figures as a very basic visual for my film images. So to do representational drawing was daunting. I found the experience extremely calming, meditative and gratifying. It made me see the beauty before me, and appreciate the fact that I can do things I don't think I can do.
