About the author
Cat Bennett is the author of several books on drawing and creative practice published by Findhorn Press, including Making Art a Practice, The Confident Creative, and The Drawing Club of Improbable Dreams. Rather than teaching technical drawing skills, these books treat drawing as a discipline for working through creative blocks and building artistic confidence, drawing on ideas from yogic theory and meditative practice. The Drawing Club of Improbable Dreams extends this into a guide for starting a drawing group, describing how working alongside other artists helps build skill and confidence through shared experimentation. Together the books address practicing and beginning artists looking for a process-oriented approach to art-making, treating drawing as much a personal and psychological exercise as a technical one.
