Hi, Just started going through my new book and am thrilled to find a new approach which is actually an old approach usually forgotten. I work with an intellectual, Senior group called OLLI at Cal, State Univ. Fullerton. I think they are going to be excited trying this style.
Although I got my Bachelor Degree in art back in ’62 I have been taking and teaching Art in all forms since then. I really like the fact that there is no such thing as “good Art or bad Art,” only finished and unfinished. This also gives us the opportunity to teach Expressionism as a valued form in Art History. Thanks again.

Hi Annemarie,
Well, I always believe you need a couple three different books on the same subject–so for me, I’d own both. I think Expressive Drawing gives great art history lessons and the exercises are super clear and doable. On the other hand, if you’re starting an art degree shortly, you might want to wait until school starts as your teachers will have strong opinions about drawing and what they want you to learn…

This book has also been on my wish list on Amazon for a while. I’m starting on an art degree course shortly and wondering if it’s worth making the investment? Incidentally, I already own Experimental Drawing by Robert Kaupelis and wonder if the exercises are similar, do have any idea?

Very inspiring write-up. Now it is a question of whether I get this or something to help draw cartoon figures.

I am bubbling up with a wish to do this -something I haven’t had for ages and ages. Thanks again for the inspiration!

[...] realize that in my last post, Expressive Drawing, I forgot to explain what “automatic drawing” [...]

Thanks for the super nice mention. And for the heads up on that book. I’ll have to snag a copy. I also love seeing the drawings you did! They’re gorgeous!
