drawing the sun

"When drawing the sun, try to have on hand colored paper, chalk, felt-tip markers, crayons, pencils, ball point pens. You can draw a sun with any one of them. Also remember that sunset and dawn are the back and front of the same phenomenon: when we are looking at the sunset, the people over there are looking at the dawn." ~Bruno Munari

I am officially obsessed with designer/illustrator Bruno Munari. I must get this book.

Bruno Munari has wonderful books. I was in a retrospective last year and it was son interesting.

I tried to paint the sun too one time, well long time ago. And it came up nothing like what Bruno has taught us here. Its an amazing theory to understand...

"Also remember that sunset and dawn are the back and front of the same phenomenon: when we are looking at the sunset, the people over there are looking at the dawn."

That is immensely comforting. Thank you.
