Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, Seven Lessons
We are delighted to carry this drawing instruction DVD workshop by Dr. Betty Edwards. The two hour workshop is divided into seven lessons, designed for you to study in sequence. Edwards begins by briefly introducing the theory upon which her process is built. She then presents the logic for each class and gives a brief demonstration. Some drawing classes, like "blind contour drawing", integrate parts of the brain needed for successful drawing skills. The process works for students at all skill levels.
The lessons are designed for everyone, including people who believe they cannot draw or think they could never learn to draw. We highly recommend this drawing instruction DVD for people just starting out for a very solid grounding to further development.
