My Favorite Exercise!
When I was little I used to stare at the ceiling in my room when I couldn’t sleep. When looking at it I would try to make out different shapes or faces in the shadows and texture or ceiling. To this day I still do that when I find the time to sit and look closely at the textures around me.
Here are few samples of images I have pulled out of the wood floor at my son’s Kung Fu school. Click on the images to see what I saw.

Exercise # 1:
- Take a digital photo of some random texture or pattern.
- Print it out in color or black and white.
- Look at it from all angles until you start to make out an image.
- Use a marker, pencil or pen to fill in the areas that are missing.
Bonus: Do the exercise again but use a picture of the ceiling above your bed.
