It is my belief that if persons untrained in art can learn to make the shift ot the artists mode of seeing - that is, the right-hemisphere mode - those individuals are then able to draw without further instruction. To put it another way, you already know how to draw, but old habits of seeing interfere with that ability and block it. The exercises in this book are designed to remove the interference and unblock that ability.

As one of my students said, "I don't think I ever actually looked at anyone's face before I started drawing. Now, the oddest thing is that everyone looks beautiful to me."
