How is The Drawing Laboratory different than the original Art & Science of Drawing?

The original Art & Science of Drawing series is a concise guide to the basics of drawing. The Drawing Laboratory is a much more comprehensive guide to drawing that teaches new tools and techniques, offers new insights, and includes more detailed demonstrations. I have also improved the production values and tried to create something that will stand the test of time.

Once all four courses in The Drawing Laboratory are complete, this new series will offer a lot to students who have already gone through the original Art & Science courses, while also providing opportunities to continue to practice familiar fundamentals.

The remaining two courses in The Drawing Laboratory will be available in fall 2024.

What People Are Saying:

This is just the kind of excellent drawing introduction I was looking for, especially after sitting through so many YouTube videos with no real structure.

Reinaldo Trindade - Student in How to Draw: A Beginner's Guide

Even though I have been drawing awhile I had never taken a class. I am so glad I picked this class. The class exceeded everything I thought I knew. The teacher retrained my brain, down to holding the pencil. I really had a hard time going through the beginning of the class. Not because of the teacher, it was me, I thought I know all this simple stuff...no I didn't. Not in the way Brent broke it down. It has helped in my drawing as well as painting. Thank you Brent for this class.

Karen Owen - Student in How to Draw: A Beginner's Guide

Brent goes step by step explaining and guiding you, with his demonstrations, and then giving you the space and time to practice, enabling you to integrate the techniques quickly.

Alan Rolle, student in The Art & Science of Figure Drawing

I started with zero experience or ability. The progress is incredible.

Taylor Swick, Student in The Art & Science of Drawing

Brent's courses are brilliant!

Yvonne Nelson, Student in The Art & Science of Figure Drawing

I have resisted drawing because it's not a skill that comes easily to me. I have taken other online classes, in person classes, watched videos, read books, and spent hours and hours with a pencil hating every minute of it. BUT Brent's classes have given me invaluable instruction in drawing. I listen to the lesson over and over, then do the exercises and listen again. I find myself learning despite the challenging attitude I have to overcome. I can see progress. His encouragement along with his excellent teaching style are just what I need.
