Vincent Van Gogh and Mark Making

Vincent Van Gogh
Drawing is about mark making.  Kit White states, that artists need to "give every mark or line authority and make sure it serves a purpose.  Try to use only the marks you need."  Does this mean to think about every mark or line one makes?  I don't think so, because as an artist matures the ability to draw something becomes automatic and as confidence increases the tentative drawing is replaced with an artistic instinct.  The hand and mind become one, with every mark moving the picture forward to achieve his/her vision.  Enjoy!
