Botanicality 2018 Best of Show: Drawing

‘Drawing is the honesty of art. To draw does not mean simply to reproduce contours: drawing does not consist merely of line. Drawing is also expression, the inner form, the plane and modeling. See what remains after that. Drawing includes three and a half quarters of the content of painting.’ Jean-Auguste Dominique Ingres

Terrace by @ironvoan-art

Fresh loquat and a friendly bee by @iiriit

Dripping in Spring by @kihaku-gato
