Mixed Grass, 2011, by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n

Drawing landscapes and plants is not my strong suit.\u00a0 I love wildernesses and gardens, but I feel overwhelmed trying to capture their forms in drawing or painting.\u00a0 They present a bewildering chaos of detail, a vast, borderless scale, and a range of color and tone that makes my palette look paltry.\u00a0 My urge to draw operates comfortably at the scale of the human body<\/a>, a form and an expressive range I know intimately from inside and out.\u00a0 But the body is a product of Earth, an efflorescence of organic forms that reflect evolutionary history and evoke the forms of the land and its creatures.\u00a0 A hip is a hill, an ear a shell, an elbow a crooked branch.\u00a0 Even if the body is my primary subject, I need to understand it as a microcosm by looking to the macrocosm.\u00a0 And purely from the standpoint of practice, I can only benefit by straying outside my comfort zone, trying to draw what I am incompetent to draw.\u00a0 In this post I’ll present some of my awkward stabs at landscape.\u00a0 I’ll immediately make them look worse by setting them in the context of some real masters!<\/p>\n

The sketch of my own I’ve chosen to head this post was made while looking at a field of mixed short grasses and weeds in a rural field.\u00a0 I was struck by the variety of different leaf shapes all jumbled together.\u00a0 What seems at first glance a tranquil and plush tapestry of green becomes on close inspection a dense jungle, and that is surely how it would appear if you could shrink to the size of an ant to make your way through it.<\/p>\n

Below is Albrecht D\u00fcrer’s astonishingly realistic watercolor portrayal of a similar patch of sod, known as the “Great Piece of Turf”<\/a>\u00a0 (Go to this link<\/a> to see it in a much larger size).\u00a0 Botanists can clearly identify at least nine species of herbs in this drawing.\u00a0 The production of this painting was an act of profound and sustained meditation on the reality of nature, made at a time when nature in art was usually idealized and symbolic, a mere setting for human and spiritual subjects.\u00a0 The artist’s intensity of attention, directed at something that most would see as utterly inconsequential, has preserved a bit of nature over the centuries like a specimen in amber.\u00a0 D\u00fcrer has captured the chaotic quality of wild plant life, but has somehow given it a kind of clarity that even photography couldn’t provide.\u00a0 This painting sets a standard that every great naturalist illustrator can only hope to approach.<\/p>\n

Even if the detail of photography rarely achieves the clarity of D\u00fcrer’s vision, by the late nineteenth century many painters had ceded this kind of hard physical detail to the new light-capturing technology and tried instead to depict the wild energy of the natural world with brushy, gestural strokes of color<\/a> that give a sense of leaves fluttering in a breeze and rays of light dancing over and through shimmery water and misty air.\u00a0 Claude Monet painted the same scenes over and over again<\/a>, at different seasons and times of day, striving to capture the mercurial subtleties of luminosity and atmosphere.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Rainy Morning on the Seine, 1890’s (?), by Claude Monet<\/p><\/div>\n

Charles Burchfield<\/a> is a magical realist, seeing the natural world as a physical manifestation of different qualities of spiritual energy.\u00a0 The forms of land and sky and plants are abstracted slightly to more closely resemble the Platonic archetypes of these forces.\u00a0 The chaos is there, but it is unified within a greater spirit of pure Nature.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Dawn of Spring, 1960’s (?), by Charles E. Burchfield<\/p><\/div>\n

I have usually avoided drawing and painting the landscape, but I’ve frequently tried to capture it with photography.\u00a0 I’ve always felt especially drawn to the raw and ragged forms<\/a> of uncultivated plant life.\u00a0 Thick thatches of foliage are challenging subjects even for photography, as the transition from three dimensions to two reduces the bursting and branching shapes to a flat patchwork like a camouflage pattern.\u00a0 Stereo photography can better portray the complexity.\u00a0 If you look at the picture below (previously posted here<\/a>) with red\/cyan 3D glasses you’ll see what I mean.\u00a0 If you look at it without glasses, it’s pure abstract field.<\/p>\n

But now let’s take a look at some of my recent fumbling attempts to draw complex, chaotic plant forms.\u00a0 Just today I took a sketchbook and a camera to my neighborhood park.\u00a0 Here’s a snapshot of a particularly plush evergreen tree, and below it, my scribbly marker sketch, drawn from direct observation of the tree without any reference to the photo.<\/p>\n

Evergreen, 2011, sketch by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n

The drawing doesn’t get much of the texture or spatial form of the tree, but it has, perhaps, something of its energy.\u00a0 Another day I made a sketch of the plants growing in a window box, with these ornate curly leaves in front of a stand of long spear-like leaves.\u00a0 This is a smaller subject, a closer focus, and a more careful hand with the drawing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Leaves, 2011, by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n

Here’s a sketch of a flowering plant with trumpet-shaped flowers (some kind of orchid?) drooping thickly around a central stalk.\u00a0 (If anyone recognizes any of the species depicted in these drawings, let me know – my botanical taxonomical knowledge is practically nonexistent.)<\/p>\n

Flowers, 2011, by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n

Last month I spent a week teaching workshops and attending the festival at the Brushwood Folklore Center<\/a> in Western New York State.\u00a0 I spent some of my spare time making crayon sketches.\u00a0 Here you see the fire-builders’ woodpile in the foreground, the Roundhouse (a sort of ritual structure for drum circles) and bonfire stack in the middle ground, and the trees of the forest in the background.<\/p>\n

The sky was clear, deep and luminous, with the great zaftig white bodies of cumulus clouds lazing across the heavens like manatees in a warm current.<\/p>\n

Near my campsite was this traditional Plains Indian tepee.<\/p>\n

This last Brushwood landscape was drawn a couple of years ago.\u00a0 This is a clump of plants in the hollow under a big tree where the henna artists<\/a> and body painters<\/a> decorate people.<\/p>\n

Under the Henna Tree, 2009, by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n

I still always feel completely unequal to the task when I try to make a drawing from a landscape, but I try to open myself to the chaos and let some attenuated remnant of that vast current flow through me and into my sketch.\u00a0 I may feel like a mouse trying to sing opera, but sometimes it is better to squeak than to be silent.<\/p>\n

Drawings on black paper are 9″ x 12″, medium is aquarelle crayon.\u00a0 Drawings on white paper are 11″ x 14″ or smaller, medium is brush-tip marker.\u00a0 The images of pieces by other artists were found on the web; clicking on a picture links to source.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
