Monet once wrote "I would like to paint the way a bird sings." When I read this, I asked myself, "how does a bird sing?" He sings effortlessly, beautifully, and freely. He does so because he was created to, because God wishes him to, so that he might inspire us through it's beauty to reflect upon our Creator's benevolence. To paint the way a bird sings, an inspiring endeavor indeed!

Da Vinci also stresses copying and learning from the masters. I think drawing Calvin and Hobbes cartoons is a good equivalent.
So I sat down today and drew different expressions.
