Drawing can be another way of seeing. 
For SFMOMA’s Slow Art Day event, artist Erin Mitchell created brief sketches of the featured works, noting the pieces and the ways in which the group observed them. 
Visiting Lecturer Tess Thackara led this Slow Art Day session with Mark Rothko’s painting No. 14 (1960). 

Lovely observation! Drawing an artwork or object is most definitely a way to look slowly, carefully, and intimately.
