I was a student of Dr Betty Edwards' in 1979 at Cal State Long Beach. I learned her techniques for drawing, which is laid out in her book, "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain." (I pursued a technical career--far removed from "art"). When I started to draw again after retirement in 2018, and discovered JML Nature Journaling in 2019, I tapped into what I learned from Betty in 1979. I recently connected with her via email (she is now 92), and wanted to share this blog post. She touched 1000's of people's lives.
Drawing Is A Great Way To Slow Down & Appreciate The World Around Us
