The New Drawing on the Right on the Right Side of the Brain

FROM OUR EDITORS

In 1979, Dr. Betty Edward's Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain became a word-of-mouth bestseller. Since its release, this innovative drawing instruction book (which was revised and expanded in 1999) has guided more than 2.5 million readers through their own dual labyrinths. This long-awaited companion workbook delineates 40 new exercises that cover each of the five basic skills of drawing. The spiral-bound book includes instructional drawings, suggestions for materials, sample drawings, and blank pages for your use.

FROM THE PUBLISHER

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.
