Product Description
Millions of people have learned to draw using the methods of Dr. Betty Edwards. Now, in an essential companion to her bestselling classic, Edwards offers readers the key to mastering this art form: guided practice in their newfound creative abilities.

Here are forty new exercises that cover each of the five basic skills of drawing. Each practice session includes a brief explanation and instructional drawings, suggestions for materials, sample drawings, and blank pages for the reader's own drawings. Also provided in this spiral-bound workbook is a pullout viewfinder, a crucial tool for effective practice. While The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain focused primarily on portrait drawing with pencil, this workbook gives readers experience in various subject matter-still life, landscape, imaginative drawing-using alternative mediums such as pen and ink, charcoal, and conté crayon.

For all those who are taking a drawing class, who have already received instruction through a book or course, or who prefer to learn by doing, this volume of carefully structured "homework" offers the perfect opportunity to reinforce and improve their skills and expand their repertoire.

About The Author
Dr. Betty Edwards is professor emeritus of art at California State University in Long Beach, California. She has been profiled by the Los Angeles Times and The Seattle Times, Reader's Digest, Time, New York, and the Today show.

Reader Reviews
I loved the video "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" and also the book "The New Drawing on the right Side of the Brain",but this new book is just a new format for the exercises covered in the book and video. There are not forty new exercises as promised, and actually there are very few new exercises. I was looking forward to the book to further the skills I developed with new ideas not to redo the exercises I've completed. It's a great book for someone who never invested time or money in Betty Edwards' book or video, but it's not worth it if you have. Comment | | (Report this)
