My students are amazing. How could I not be proud of them. They all began with my Beginning Art class, based on Betty Edwards' book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. This book is the drawing bible in learning how to "see" like an artist. It makes it possible for pretty much anyone who wants to apply themselves to learn how to draw - which is the skill necessary before moving on to the next level - painting. This is not an easy process as most non-artists believe. There is no waving of a magic wand. It is hard work learning how to not only see the subject matter but to also learn to create the correct color and lighting effect. There is a lot of struggle and experimenting done before the final result is satisfactory to the student and to me.
