With your nose
right on top of it, you see all of its beauty
and all of its simplicity. But when you start drawing,
only then do you realize how terribly complicated
and shapeless that beauty really is. It is so terribly difficult. A small piece of rock,
it's beautiful, but there's nothing
to hold on to. There is no form
that can be captured, it simply goes on
in all directions, and you don't know
where to begin and where to end. So nothing comes of it,
of course. And I won't even start with all the beautiful
little flowers. Color is indispensable
for that, and I don't want to color

With your nose
right on top of it,
00:00:03.638 --> 00:00:07.723
you see all of its beauty
and all of its simplicity.
00:00:07.008 --> 00:00:11.041
But when you start drawing,
only then do you realize
00:00:11.118 --> 00:00:13.717
how terribly complicated
and shapeless
00:00:13.803 --> 00:00:15.836
that beauty really is.
00:00:15.923 --> 00:00:19.164
It is so terribly difficult.
00:00:19.241 --> 00:00:22.559
A small piece of rock,
it's beautiful,
00:00:22.636 --> 00:00:25.244
but there's nothing
to hold on to.
00:00:25.321 --> 00:00:27.555
There is no form
that can be captured,
00:00:27.642 --> 00:00:29.838
it simply goes on
in all directions,
00:00:29.924 --> 00:00:31.564
and you don't know
where to begin
00:00:31.641 --> 00:00:33.357
and where to end.
00:00:33.443 --> 00:00:36.244
So nothing comes of it,
of course.
00:00:36.032 --> 00:00:37.797
And I won't even start
00:00:37.884 --> 00:00:40.799
with all the beautiful
little flowers.
00:00:40.876 --> 00:00:43.196
Color is indispensable
for that,
00:00:43.283 --> 00:00:46.237
and I don't want to color.
