Water Bottle Sketch
Here's my continued attempt at trying to "paint" with pencil. Yesterday my water bottle was sitting right in front of me and I thought "why not"?! And you know, the more I drew, the water bottle started to become more vibrant and interesting with it's purple glow, reflections and simplistic shape sitting on the table.
But more than that, I was amazed at how such an ordinary object became such a rich and interesting sketch. I started to think more deeply and thought of how water bottles have become a regular part of my daily life. I take one with me almost everywhere I go these days (in the car, grocery shopping, hiking, you name it - my water bottle is almost always with me).
Then I started to think even more deeply that besides the fact water is a necessity of life, it's symbolic of cleansing, healing (I think of listening to the waves or waterfalls), even happiness (swimming in the ocean, pools, etc.). I'm sure there are a multitude of things water symbolizes, but that's what's kind of surprising to me. The simplest things in life are often the most multi-faceted and necessary.
Don't know where I am heading with these drawings but hope to be amazed at the outcome and maybe I'll discover something that will benefit someone somewhere somehow. And I plan on starting my next drawing tomorrow and not a minute later!
