• look only at still life, not at paper
• use non-dominant hand
• use Flair felt-tip marker (thinner than Sharpie of yesterday)
• hold marker loosely at top end
• do not lift marker from page
• draw for only 90 seconds
Gifts of limits: playfulness, surprise, engagement with the physicality of drawing, primitive linework, presence.
