6 Responses to “Learn to Draw from a 91 Year Old Superhuman”

  1. About 15 years ago when I decided to go back to college, it was to play. I took a drawing class which I had always wanted to do. I liked it so much that I took a second class the next semester. I loved both classes. One of the surprising things that I learned from my drawing classes was that I was still trying to control certain areas of my life. I still had areas that I needed to surrender and practice letting go of the illusion of control.

  3. That’s really interesting, Patricia… drawing as letting go of the illusion of control. I’d never thought of it that way. If anything, it was the opposite - I’ve always thought of artists as having a huge amount of control in order to take what’s in their brains an reproduce it. But you are right… they aren’t try to control it, just express it.

    Thanks for that.

  4. wow, this man is 91? he looks about 50!

  5. He’s a pretty amazing guy, Martin… I was surprised by his age too!

  6. yeah, i think it just goes to show the importance of keeping your mind active during old age, and you don’t have to look old when you are old! He actually looks about as old as my dad, and my dads only in his 50s!
