“Williams combines her natural teaching abilities (she's a California high school instructor) with a lifetime devoted to art in this encouraging guide. Readers are urged to find sanctity in their drawing. Many exercises explore expressing feelings by drawing with the non-dominant, less intellectual hand. Williams emphasizes . . . that readers should be patient and gentle with themselves during their artistic explorations, and she reminds all-thumbs aspirants that ‘there's nothing wrong with stick figures.’ ”
