Full disclosure – you are never going to become Michelangelo in just 5 days BUT you can cultivate a bunch of skills that go beyond just drawing. Find out more below.

Although learning to draw can feel scary, in a small group you will learn the skill of drawing in just 5 days - plus strategies to switch off or calm down judging L-mode and cultivate R-mode. You can find out more about the benefits of the course below.

As well as learning how to draw you'll take home the Portfolio of materials which includes unique drawing tools developed by DRSB Inc based on those used by the Old Masters.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Cultivate these skills for life

Whether you haven’t picked up a pencil since schooldays or perhaps you enjoy drawing or painting but want to be able to draw from observation, the Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain® 5-day workshop will teach you the perceptual skills of drawing – and more. Participants often comment on what they take away – and it might be different things for different people.

1. Learning to see
In order to be able to draw you need to be able to see – to see what is actually there rather than what you think is there…Once you learn to see as an artist sees your world will be transformed - whether you are walking in the woods, taking a photograph, enjoying an art exhibition or drawing!

“This course is about so much more than learning to draw. It's about learning to really see, and the curiosity that evokes.” SF

“ “I love this feeling of freedom and potential the course has given me, and a new way of seeing the world.” .” CF

2. Opening up possibilities
Often when people realise that they can actually draw, it makes them wonder what else might be possible for them. So often we stop ourselves doing something new because we tell ourself a particular story about it – usually something negative!

“ “what I really loved about the course was the gateway it opens up the other possibilities.”

“ “As a deeper benefit of doing the course I currently feel more unlocked to ‘just do it’ in various areas of my life” .” RS

3. Increasing confidence
The course will give you the foundational skills of drawing which you can then enjoy developing and taking in a multitude of directions.

“ “…how dramatically it [the course] improved my confidence and increased my pleasure in drawing” .” Katie N

4. A structured, supported way of learning
The course is structured to introduce you to the 5 skills of drawing and give you plenty of opportunity to practice them – as well as give you strategies for choosing which mode of mind you want to be in. You will learn in a calm, supportive environment – benefiting from teacher support as well as others in the group.

“ “It was hard to believe what I had previously read about the benefits achievable from following the methods taught in the drawing exercises, but it really is working for me.” .” RS

“ “It seems that I have finally found a method of learning which works” .” KE

“ “… your course helped me reset my brain to be patient, enjoy the process and be content on learning. I doubt I would have got as far as I did trying to learn on my own.” .” RM

5. Increased focus and calm
When we are in the ‘zone’, time falls away and we are simply present. This state of flow is calm, focused and confident.

“ “I felt my brain switch into this new and different mode. The anxious and insistent need to keep “doing stuff” disappeared, to be replaced by a calm and focus I had not experienced before.” .” CF



“ “Thank you for a splendid week. I've waited 13 years to do this course and it was worth the wait!” .”
