Pencil Sketches

Art And Poem By Eric Buechel

In quiet corners, where shadows play, Pencil sketches whisper, guiding the way. With every stroke, a world unfolds, A canvas of dreams, where stories are told. Lines intertwine, a dance of the hand, Building foundations, where visions stand. Proportions and forms, in graphite they bloom, From simple beginnings, great art finds its room.

Realism or whimsy, the pencil can bend, Adapting to styles, a true artist's friend. Preliminary thoughts, on paper they flow, Sketches that guide, where bold colors will go. With a pencil in hand, the world feels so near, Inexpensive and humble, it banishes fear. No need for grand tools, just paper and light, Every artist can sketch, igniting their sight.

Carry your dreams in a pocket so small, Sketching on sidewalks, or in cafés' thrall. Spontaneous moments, captured with glee, In the heart of the city, inspiration runs free. Erase and refine, a dance of the mind, Quick adjustments made, creativity intertwined. A forgiving embrace, where mistakes are a part, Encouraging journeys, from the head to the heart. Eyes sharpened keenly, the world comes alive, Details emerge, as perceptions strive. Through sketching we learn, to see and to feel, The beauty around us, in every reveal. With each gentle line, emotions take flight, A raw, honest language, in shadows and light. Pencil sketches speak, in whispers and sighs, Resonating deeply, with truth in their eyes. From da Vinci's hand to Picasso's bold flair, The legacy lingers, in sketches laid bare. Connecting the ages, in art's timeless thread, A tradition embraced, where all artists tread. So pick up your pencil, let creativity soar, In each simple sketch, there's so much in store. Unlocking the magic, of skill and of heart, In the world of pencil, every artist's a part.

"Nulla dies sine linea is a Latin phrase meaning "no day without a line".
