When I draw in the landscape I am overwhelmed by the amount of decisions that have to be made in order to understand what I see. What should I select and what should I leave out?
I feel more at ease when I make drawings in an enclosed space because the edges are finite. I also see the lines and shapes previously considered by the builder or architect. This means that the selection processes that I need to make as I draw have been simplified.
