Discussing line drawing showing more clearly what is meant by a ‘floating line” and then some further points about Fechin and Degas.

In Response to Jane and Kofi

QUESTION:

What is a 'floating line'?

Susan K
What is the innocent line? How do I make an innocent line?
What do you mean by a memorized line, virtually traced? Would Degas have memorized a line that described a flat shape, or would he have memorized the forms which he could later draw lines from? Or both? And traced from what?

You mention in the video that Fechin fell under the category of using a memorized line that was traced. I'm very curious what you have to say about his drawings, he's another one of my favorites.
