[edit] Factual information
Anybody have less gushy, factual information? "Drawing is so easy". Blah blah blah. I came for factual info and all I found was this lousy t-shirt slogan. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.211.52.186 (talk) 2006-08-24T20:04:43 .
- I taken three drawing courses. The first two were traditional studio based courses, that did not teach me to draw. Each instructor couldn't tell me what I was doing wrong. The third course was based on Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain (DRSB) and its exercises. I can now draw. The DRSB instructor told me, many times a day, exactly what I was doing wrong, and how to do it right -- based on the techniques from the book. - Lentower 21:58, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Article needs cleanup
This article as written currently has some serious problems. First, it's unreferenced, which is always a big problem (see WP:ATT for information on citing published sources). Second, the language in the article sounds very biased and uses a number of "peacock terms" and "weasel words" to say how important or terrific the artist is without providing any actual evidence or references (see WP:WEASEL and WP:PEACOCK). Finally there are some important basic biographical facts missing such as birthplace, birthdate and professional history. (I can't even really tell from this article how old she is or if she's still alive.)
I'll try and remove some of the weasel words, but the citations I can't do. And the only reason I didn't nominate this article for deletion is because I'm pretty sure someone can dig around and get the needed references and bio info. Dugwiki 21:54, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Done. I removed or reworded the phrases that sounded both biased and uncited. Also fixed a number of other minor things. Dugwiki 22:04, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
