Summary
First published in 1979, DRAWING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BRAIN spoke to many who had previously been blocked or had considered themselves uncreative.

Everyone has the capability to draw, if encouraged by using various exercises and techniques to stimulate the right brain function. This new version contains updated information on brain research and new drawing techniques.

Drawing can enrich your life in extraordinary and unexpected ways. Drawing your everyday experiences can change how you and others see the world, while drawing from imagination can give rise to fantastic new worlds. And, despite what you may believe, it’s something just about anyone can learn to do.
