Last night, after typing in "Why do some drawings float?", it dawned on me that maybe I look too often to google for answers. So I sat with cup of orange pekoe and looked through all my art books on the living room floor. It turns out I have a book called "Techniques of the Great Masters of Art". I had completely forgotten! I didn't find the answer to the mystery of floating, but I was in awe of how painters would do so many beautifully detailed sketches and spend years on just one painting. Even after reading about their techniques it still just seems like magic to me.
