id=\"caption-attachment-3291\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Persona, 2011, by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I am by my essential nature more drawer than painter.\u00a0 In taking on painting as a challenge, I have approached it as a form of drawing.\u00a0 I seek spontaneity, linear expressiveness and energy, and a direct connection between perception and mark-making.\u00a0 I&#8217;m not particularly concerned with sophisticated composition or illusionistic realism.\u00a0 In drawing, perceptions are traced as lines, and drawn figures remain transparent, because they&#8217;re not all filled in.\u00a0 This allows multiple images to coexist, as they often do in the mind, or as they do in the painting above.\u00a0 Even when a drawing or painting isn&#8217;t explicitly layered in this way, I like it to have that kind of openness.<\/p>\n<p>In quick sketches, I use the brush in much the same way as I use a pencil or pen, freely tracing the contours.\u00a0 The brush is even more sensitive to the motions of the hand, and indicates shadowed areas more efficiently than the pencil can.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3308\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
