Negative Shape Figures  with Wet Media ---------------------------- Finding the Chi The premise of Chi m editation  technique is simple.  i. Many practitioners of it recommend that when inhaling, you think of taking life energy into your body.  ii. When you exhale, release that energy.  This breathing technique can be applied to almost all chi meditations  and movements.  iii. When engaged in drawing gestural figures, think that you are recording a thread of energy moving around your body. Similar to one's breathe, this line appears alive, organic and reacts to your sensitive touch and pressure of your tool. ------------------ Richard Diebenkorn Bay Area Artist 1922 - 1993 David Park Bay Area Artist 1911 - 1960 (49 yo)
