Reviews for Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain: A Course in Enhancing Creativity and Artistic Confidence: The Definitive 4th Edition

'Think you can't draw? You absolutely can. Buy a copy of Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards (in print since 1979 for good reason) and read it properly - no skipping straight to the exercises - before sitting down with paper and pencil and following instructions. You will quickly amaze and delight yourself. Hands down the best and most life-enhancing thing I've done in lockdown' - India Knight, Sunday Times 'Clear, intelligent . . . practical and sensible . . . It is an essential beginning' - The Artist 'It remains the preeminent book on the subject of drawing for beginners' - Psychology Today 'Marries neuroscience and art' - New York Times
