Drawing What You Know

Sechs Kissen (Six Pillows), 1493 by Albrecht Dürer, The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Dürer created this drawing as a study of shading by using cross-hatching, but it is also a study in drawing drapery.
"Thanks to art, instead of seeing a single world, our own, we see it multiply until we have before us as many worlds as there are original artists." Marcel Proust

It was incredibly helpful to see this today. Thanks so much. I keep telling myself that there is nothing to draw . . . . of course that's not true.
Albrecht Dürer, huh? I wouldn't have expected that of him. I guess I need to learn more about him.
Durer did a couple of interesting pieces that could almost be considered "Modern Art." Sadly, I don't own any of those yet, but I'm looking.

Lovely work, thank you for showing it. I like how the four Kissen almost 'push' into each other.
