Idea! Go out and try some blind contour drawing. Just take a few minutes and draw something on your table or desk: here's how:

  1. take a piece of blank paper and a pencil (ok, a pen will do)
  2. put behind your back (or out of sight of your eyes).
  3. without taking the pencil off the paper, draw the object you choose.
  4. Don't be fussy! Just get the basic outline and add a few details--No picking up your pencil!  No looking!
Benefit: You will discover the great quality of line that Ellsworth Kelly uses!!
