So that's Lesson 8 in the series. Are you getting it? Below that formula seem to be observations on particular artworks, 2 of which have titles and can easily be discovered. Click on the links to view those 2:
• Do above but w/ opaque white lines on dark groundAs for the other 3, I'm not sure if they are ideas of mine or descriptions of actual works. Ah! The last one — "a fish splashing up through water" — must be "Fishes in the Torrent." The first one, with the white lines, could be this ("Structural I"). I think the one about water is "Play on the Water" or "Spring in the Stream."
• Look at classic Chinese landscape painting and "draw" it using an ALL over pattern of straight lines ("View of a Mountain Sanctuary") — use sharp pencil
• "Forest Architecture" — Draw woods w/ all straight allover lines so that it looks like the inside of a church
• Draw a photograph of water using horiz. curvy lines.
• Take an ordinary photo of an animal — like a fish splashing up through water — & draw in pencil or pen using solid pattern of tracking lines (curved & straight parallels) introduced geom. shapes whimsically
Now, I'm convinced all the bullet point descriptions are actual pictures I was viewing. Again, the idea was to remember the picture in a form that could start me (or you) off into a new and independent work of art. Surely, you can look at a photograph of water and translate it into a series of horizontal lines!

Yes but How would Klee plate a Thanksgiving Dinner?

A friend is an artist. He refuses to acknowledge that he was born with a gift. Insists that anybody could do it with study and practice.
Very annoying attitude.
"Very annoying attitude."
Well, try my experiment.
Here's a photo of water... or find another one.
Get a pencil and paper. Draw only horizontal lines going all the way from one side of the paper to the other edge. Obviously, these won't be straight lines. Maybe the lines at the top are closer together and the lines get farther apart as you go down. That gives a little 3D illusion.
Don't try to copy the photograph exactly. Just use it as a reference and enjoy yourself as you do your lines.
Think of it as meditation.

I would not"see" that.
I'm gonna do it, later.
I can draw a 3d box,or tube. learned it in high school mechanical drawing.
I have made plenty of waves over the years, never on paper.
Oh, and thanks
1. Draw like Miro but with a talent for draftsmanship.
I am Laslo.
I seem to have finally extracted the a generic formula for how to draw/paint like Paul Klee....So that's Lesson 8 in the series. Are you getting it?
I think it's too advanced for me. Maybe you should start with something more basic, like how to draw/paint like DaVinci. You could probably cover that in one or two lessons.

Ok, was busy but finally tried it, kind of worked.
