Artist Quote by Eva Zeisel
“The pleasure of making things beautiful or useful involves your feelings as well as your thinking. When your original sketch evolves into a tangible, three-dimensional object, your heart is anxiously following the process of your work. And the love involved in making it is conveyed to those for whom you made it.”

![“[Drawing should be] a journey of pleasure. Each step must present to the travellers' view objects that are eminently interesting, varied in their appearances, and attracting to such a degree as to excite in each individual thus happily employed the desire of knowing all respecting all he sees.” quote by John James Audubon](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/ca6/john-james-audubon-9371_appearance_drawing-should-be-a-journey-of-pleasure_3106335.jpg)
