For the artist drawing is discovery. And that is not just a
slick phrase, it is quite literally true. (...) if he is drawing from memory, that forces him to dredge his own mind, to discover the content of his own store of
past observations. (...) each mark you make on the paper is a stepping stone from which you proceed to the next, until you have crossed your subject as though it were a river, have put it behind you.
