Illusion of Art
December 12, 2016
Anything is real if you believe it is real.
Crisp soft new paper, the etch the pencil scratches smoothly into the paper.
Slow but magnificent sketch of something forming together.
Texture from the inanimate object makes it come alive,
Shadow makes it seem 3-D as if you could hold it
Pencil is as sharp as a blade but swift as a flowing river.
As you study it for a while you could have sworn it had moved.
Color pops out and blended as if the light really shone on it.
Seeing is believing.
