Open-Source Exercises for the Right Brain

Created by Jim Bredt to document Figure Drawing Mondays at Artisans Asylum.

The weekly Monday night figure drawing classes at Artisans Asylum are a crucible for developing drawing exercises to help students flip into right-brain drawing mode, as described by Betty Edwards. Through frequent teaching I have worked on perfecting some exercises that ease execution of the Betty Edwards Brain Flip.

This is a work in progress and additions to the list should accumulate in the future.
