COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Excellent drawing course! submitted by Yachtie M on July 27, 2016, 1:47pm When I had completed the third lesson, the catalogue for the Great Courses arrived and this drawing course was one of the sale items. I bought it immediately! This course is very well presented. The exercises that I have completed so far were clear, the directions easy to follow and the exercises build on one another, developing one's drawing skill for real life drawing as well as drawing from imagination. David Brody presents the material very well. It is wonderful to have it in dvd format to be able to replay lessons.
