The Yoga of Drawing: Uniting Body, Mind and Spirit in the Art of Drawing

This book has helped me to loosen up while drawing and have more fun when using watercolors. Great book!

I also have Ms. Carbonetti's, The Zen of Watercolor. I was drawn to The Yoga of Drawing because I appreciated her ideas about techniques that would allow me to become freer and more expressive in watercolor painting. Her book, The Yoga of Drawing, is an extension of an expressive approach to art in general. The Yoga of Drawing is not the first instruction book that one would pick up to learn how to draw. I've been drawing and painting for about five years and continually work to become freer and expressive in both of these dimensions of my art. Her suggestions have been very helpful to me in this regard. I am grateful for that. Muji from Manila

This is a terrific book for those people who don't have fabulous drawing skills. It helps you understand how you can create wonderful drawings that are expressive even if you don't draw. It's a wonderful companion to Jeanne Carbonetti's other two books.

After reading her two other fine books on the technique of watercolor and zen, I didn't think she could come up with another as good as they were,I was so pleasently surprised: "Yoga of Drawing" has surpassed both! Her lovely drawing and simple techniques are easy to understand and most pleasing to the sense of balance and spirit in the presentation of the printed word to the reader. The flow of the spirit and mind are merged together as one to carry one happily through all the pages one by one in the process of understanding. My warmest recommendations.
