Each day she would get in her kayak and paddle out to the breakers, where
flocks of cormorants gather on the rocks. Then, while looking at the birds
through binoculars from a tiny boat that was never still, she would use a
laundry marker to draw them. Because she held the binoculas in one hand, which
put her in closer visual proximity to her subject matter, de Groot forced
herself to directly connect looking with drawing. It was an extreme premier
coup situation, close to that of a jazz musician having to perform a solo.
She either got her subject down or she didn't. Under these conditions, there
was no turnig back, no possibility for revision or change.
