Thomas Kinkade and Observation

Thomas Kinkade
Clear sight makes clear art.  According to Kit White, "Observation lies at the heart of the art process.  Whether your art derives from mimicking nature or extrapolating a mental construct, your powers of observation are critical...Try to see what is before you, not what you think you see or want to see."  I would agree that observing things around us, without distorting them, is a fundamental tool.  Once you are able to observe and describe what you see, then you will be able to take off in any direction that your imagination takes you.  Enjoy!
