Tim, a Lines and Colors reader, wrote me to say that he had recently become inspired to return to the practice of drawing. He had purchased a copy of Betty Edwards’ Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain (see my post here), and was looking for other books and resources to pursue his interest from there, hopefully with a classical or Renaissance method.
Edwards’ book is an excellent place to start for someone who has a new or rekindled interest in drawing. I frequently recommend it as the book concentrates of the fundamental and most difficult problem adults face in learning to draw, and that is learning to see what is actually before them, and not what they think they see.
I feel her book, however, is lacking the other “half” of drawing, the art of it, the finesse and artistic choices that separate “art” from “just drawing” and that separate the masters from the ordinary. Though she has attempted to address this somewhat in recent editions, there are better sources for pursuing the art of drawing.
This is not meant to be a comprehensive list, certainly not of drawing books, or even of drawing books and resources that answer the particular question at hand, but a few suggestions drawn (if you’ll excuse the expression) from my personal experience.
A book I will recommend, though it is not specifically related to drawing but to art and art study in general, is Robert Henri’s The Art Spirit.
As for drawing instruction in a classical or Renaissance method, there isn’t a great deal in the way of drawing texts from the Renaissance; techniques were passed down from master to apprentice, rarely committed to writing. Modern representational drawing texts concentrate on Academic teachings, which are derived from principles developed in the Renaissance and subsequent years up to the late 19th Century.
The dedicated path:
Classic drawing textbooks (not necessary “Classical”) These two volumes have been standards in art schools in the U.S. for decades. Look for them used online, in used bookstores or on eBay; they’re overpriced and current printings are apparently of poor quality.
A Guide to Drawing, Daniel M. Mendelowitz
Art of Responsive Drawing, Nathan Goldstein
The study of drawing:
The Natural Way to Draw: A Working Plan for Art Study, Kimon Nicolaides
If you’re really committed, Kimon Nicolaides has the game plan, but it’s a demanding course of study.
The Practice And Science Of Drawing, Harold Speed
A valuable text, with insights and practical information. There is a full version on Project Gutenberg, though the reproductions leave something to be desired. [Addendum: There is a better Facsimile Edition on the Internet Archive. See my more recent post on The Practice And Science Of Drawing.]
Charles Bargue and Jean-Leon Gerome: Drawing Course, Gerald M. Ackerman
A 19th Century Academic approach, form a student of master Jean-Léon Gerome
Drawing Lessons from the Great Masters, Robert Beverly Hale
I had the good fortune to have Robert Beverly Hale as my artistic anatomy instructor when I was a student at The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. His teachings have been codified in a series of books, illustrated with selections of old master drawings.

Keys to Drawing, Bert Dodson
Keys to Drawing with Imagination: Strategies and Exercises for Gaining Confidence and Enhancing Your Creativity, Bert Dodson
Dodson eases you into some of the same techniques and concerns covered by Mendelowitz and Goldstein, with a friendlier approach and less of a brusque college textbook manner. See my review of Keys to Drawing with Imagination
Bridgman’s Complete Guide to Drawing from Life, George Bridgman
The Human Figure, John H. Vanderpoel
Put solidity and an understanding of form into your figure drawing with Bridgeman and Vanderpoel.
Study master drawings
Look for used books of collections of master drawings, study them and copy from the masters (as they did from previous masters) to understand what they have done with line, tone, space and form.
Dover Books has many titles with master drawings that are inexpensive new. Though the reproduction is not superb, they are still very good for study and enjoyment.
150 Masterpieces of Drawing by Anthony Toney
Look for other inexpensive collections like Drawing ideas of the masters: Improve your drawings by studying the masters by Frederick Malins
Look to your local library for everything mentioned here and more. If you live near a state university, you may find their library open to residents, including borrowing privileges.
Line by Line is an introductory drawing course running in weekly installments on the New York Times (see my post here). There are many other online resources that should be the subject of a separate post.
Studying the real thing: master drawings
Seeing old master, Baroque and 19th Century drawing in person is a treat, inspiring and very instructive. Drawings reveal their subtleties in person even more than paintings. They can’t be kept on display because of light damage, so you have to look for shows.
On the East Coast of the U.S. The Met in NY and the National Gallery in D.C rotate out selections from their collections of works on paper in small dedicated galleries. Look for other major museums to have similar small spaces devoted to works on paper. The Morgan Library in NY often has great drawing shows.
Studying the real thing: life drawing
This is a directory of life drawing (figure model) open sessions, workshops and other easily accessible classes: Figure Drawing Open Studios, Workshops, and Continuing Education Classes, see my post on the Directory of Figure Drawing Sessions.
Fake it from home: life drawing
Pose Maniacs, Virtual Pose and Figure Drawing training Tool let you practice life drawing from home, the former with computer generated figures, the latter two with photographs.
The most important things
The most important thing: keep drawing. If it’s not a dedicated course of study, make it a hobby, a habit, a coffee break, a meditation. A quick sketch once a day is better than an elaborate plan of study that you can’t maintain.
Zen of Seeing: Seeing/Drawing as Meditation by Frederick Franck
This is an essay on drawing, and the special kind of seeing associated with drawing (that I think is at the core of the techniques in Drawing on the Right side of the Brain and other texts) as a form of meditation.
More importantly, it is instructive in drawing as a practice, an activity, something you do, rather than something you are trying to accomplish. It’s hard to overstate what a dramatic difference in frame of mind this seemingly small shift can make.
Drawing for Pleasure, Valerie C. Douet
I mention this title, not because the drawings within are treasures of old master accomplishment — they’re not, but because of the attitude and approach expressed by the book and its title.
Unless you mess it up by trying too hard, hanging all kinds of expectations and self-measurement on it or make the gross mistake of comparing your current level of ability with others, drawing is, after all, fun.
So my best word of advice? Draw and have fun drawing. The rest will follow.
[Addendum: On rereading this post, I wanted to add one of my favorite quotes.
From Howard Ikemoto:
When my daughter was about seven years old, she asked me one day what I did at work. I told her I worked at the college — that my job was to teach people how to draw. She stared back at me, incredulous, and said, “You mean they forget?” ]
29 Replies to “Learning to draw: where to go from here”
Let me add one more source that can add to the fun.
It is a blog in the New York Times by James McMullan, titled, Line by Line. It is according to the Times: “A series on learning the basics of drawing, presented by the artist and author James McMullan. Line By Line begins with installments on line, perspective, proportion and structure, and continues from there, using examples from art history to illuminate specific issues. Pencil and paper recommended.”

I have The Natural Way to Draw by Niccolaides, give to me by my father in 1973. Y9ou are correct about committed, because that’s what you have to do to use this book. He wanted my time in three hour chunks, but I couldn’t afford to spend 3 hours on the first exercise. I stuck with it as long as I could, but the actual EXERCISE experience was excellent while it lasted.
The Kimon Nicolaides book has to be the worst creature out there. We had that book for Art school class, it is just ridiculous to say the least. Total dabble, dribble the artist cant draw for waffles his ideas are sporadic they don’t make any sense. Worst of all if your just getting into drawing this book will kill any instinct you might have to draw. Stay away from it.
Any book is worth considering that stay close to classical ideas of form. Try Bridgemans.
Anything by Bridgeman and the Zen of seeing would definitely be high on my list. The others I would add as really worth while are Fast Sketching Techniques by David Rankin, this really changed my approach to sketching out and about, and Drawn to Life by Walt Stanchfield. Drawn to life was aimed at Disney animators but is really about getting the right mindset to make drawings with life and energy. Superb.
And of course the The Bargue book is fantastic. The plates alone are phenomenal. This is serious discipline and not for the faint at heart. If I may add another suggestion would be William Morris Hunt/On painting and drawing. Out of print of course, but if you can get your hands on a copy it’s a real gem. That man breaks down life and drawing into one.
Thanks a lot for this! I wonder, where do I fit on the commitment spectrum, if I can reliably devote an hour a day to practice?
Ahead of most.
Charley, great list and a good compendium of books. I’m sorry to say that the more I work on computers, the lazier my hand gets. My sketchbooks are more a place to rough out ideas than do comprehensive drawing. This post makes me want to start changing that.
Thanks, Gerry. As someone who works digitally a lot myself, I find the occasional drawing in traditional media is not only a nice break, but gives me a different awareness when I return to the tablet.
I can only admire the capability of others to draw and paint, though I will say that trying my own feeble hand at it proved a wonderful education. I also started with Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, and it was a great corrective about seeing in just the way you state. I also enjoyed being reminded of the book 150 Masterpieces of Drawing. While my attempts at copying are rightfully shut away, I loved spending that kind of focused time with master drawings–even if the reproductions were less than perfect. The recollection of it stays with me today.
Awesome, thanks for the extensive list of great resources.
THis was exactly the kind of information i’ve been looking for for some time now. Recommendations by someone i “know” and trust, instead of some random amazon.com person.
Thank you very much.
I teach drawing courses at a community college.
The bit of wisdom I most often impart to my students came from my teacher, William Bailey:
“All artist’s are self-taught.” The intense and solitary pleasure of learning from the Masters through museums, reproductions, books and contact with accomplished artists culminates in the admission to a pedigree that goes back to the cave artists and the pride of one day realizing “I can draw!”
Thanks, John. Well said.
Please include this book
Figure Drawing: Design and Invention
in your list, it is a really really good one.
I have to defend the Nicolaides. Yes, he demands a lot of time, and he does not show where exactly his exercises will lead, but just working through the first three and a half weeks of his schedule has changed dramatically not just my drawings, but my relation to the act of drawing as well. And given me the ability (and speed!) to sketch people in public that I was entirely lacking before. If I had half a year to devote to drawing practice alone, I would spend it completing his course. But I guess his is a very specific book, either it clicks with you or it doesn’t.
I got my grubby hands on a copy of Art of Responsive Drawing at the library yesterday. Thanks for this post, especially since I had no idea which text were being used in college courses. This book has an actual plan, not something I am used to in an art book. At any rate Charley, your site has broadened my world. I receive a treat every few days from having L&C book marked!
An excellent post, Charley, and thank you especially for including “The Zen of Seeing.”
Here is a last (or almost last) word, a shameless plug for a drawing book in which one of my own drawings appears. The book is unusual among the many others available in that it shows historical drawings from the last century as well as drawings by contemporary instructors and students at the Art Students League of New York. Quite a continuum.
Great list of resources. Thanks for the effort in putting this together.
Thank you for the book list and thoughts on learning to draw.
Edwards’ Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain and similar books all seem to me to teach drawing in just the opposite way, that is, from the left side of the brain. That is to say they are so analytical and mechanical in their approach to altering one’s perception of the world, that the “right side” is completely abandoned. This idea reinforces the concept that anyone can learn to draw, since so many who may be unfamiliar with sketchbook, pencil, and close observation would need such “left brain” guidance to get started. Hopefully, and after much practice and discipline, such practioners of these methods of “seeing” will have the “right side” kick in and start being truly creative. I find the balance between the two “sides” to be very elusive.
Interesting thoughts. Thanks, Bill.
Anyone know of a good list of books on learning how to draw or paint abstractly? I did find this list great! Thanks.
About 3 years ago I started teaching myself to draw and I used many of these books. I really didn’t finish the Betty Edwards book, and I did a lot of lessons in the Nicolaides book. The secret is this: Break it down into 1/2 chunks. I learned a great deal from it.
What’s most important of all of it is that you are an art student. Make no bones about it, you are learning a skill and a craft, and the best thing you can do is get involved with a local drawing group. I joined meetup.com http://is.gd/hJ0d3 about a year in and that’s when I really took off. It doesn’t matter if other people are more skilled than you, don’t be afraid to produce shitty drawings, and draw draw draw (paint etc). In these groups you will learn (for free!) new styles, techniques and methods of seeing, composing, working.
If you just hang out by yourself you’ll eventually become frustrated. So take a gander at these books but get out there and meet people.
Capn, I believe this is true for you, but for me it was quite the opposite – after drawing a lot, and following some exercises in some of those books, and basically drawing every day for a year or two I took part in a local figure drawing workshop, and then a private figure drawing group which met once a week. I went there every week for 1 1/2 years, and although I love figure drawing, I didn’t ever feel as if I learned much from either the instructor in the workshop or the other participants in the group. Rather, most of them were still stuck in the intro section of the books… It was still nice going there, talking about art events and socializing, but strictly for my progress in drawing I could just as well have been there alone with the model.
All i can say is thank you. I am currently studying Nicolaides and without a doubt rigorous and challenging but exactly what i was looking for. It really challenges you to open your mind and really see, touch, taste, memorize and understand what you are drawing. It is a wonderful, meditative process for me!
Thanks for the comment, Renise. Sounds to me like you’re on the right track.
I was a student at Cal State Long Beach when Betty Edwards was doing her research. She taught beginners and non-majors, mostly. I did take one workshop with her and I was and am impressed with her results with those stsarting out, I do have some disagreements with her and her legions of followers ( yes, followers). Drawing is not solely a “right brain process” as Dr. Edwards would have us believe. Drawing is a whole brain process. To illusrtate this I’ll go back to something I heard her say, and something that was in the first edition of her book. The idea, said with the force of dogma, was that one cannot draw and talk at the same time. I have seen this disproved over and over again. In the early eighties, I spent a year studying with Burne Hogarth. I noticed that , during his ever-present drawing demos, Hogarth would talk and draw at thew same time. He did not draw, then talk, then draw, as he would have had to do if Edwards’ right-brain theory was correct. Years later, at the American Animation Institute, I took classes with Glenn Vilppu, an artist who has trained a great number of people in the animation industry. The same was true of him. During his demonstrations, Vilppu would talk and draw at the same time. Needless to say, both Hogarth and Vilppu had the same reaction at the mention of Betty Edwards, a little chuckle, and a wave of the hand in dismissal. Don Lagerberg, a professer emeritus at Cal State Fullerton and someone who should be designated a living treasure (if we did that sort of thing in America), was even stronger in his dismissal. He once told me, jokingly yet no less sincere for all of that, that he thought that followers of Betty Edwards were members of a cult, and that she was a cult leader, because of her dogmatism regarding the right brain. When I started teaching drawing, I also found myself talking and drawing at the same time. So the statement that one can’t talk and draw at the same time is demonsratbly false My second complaint with her book is this; it only teaches people to copy, and she does not go beyond that. There is no acknowledgement of the ability to draw from imagination. I’m only basing this on my use of her first book, she could have covered this elsewhere, but I doubt it. Now my own opinion of her work is that it is useful for teaching one to draw what one sees. I have gone though the book and its excersises as have many others, but in my own teaching of beginners, I quickly move away from Betty Edwards and her ideas. One more thing; Betty Edwards has registered her methods and the phrase “right brain drawing,” with the US Patent Office and she has trained people to teach her specific method. Only those trained can use the phrase “right brain drawing.” I’m wondering if anyone has encountered an Edwards fanatic. I have, and their defense of the method as some kind of “true way” is disturbing to me. Anyway, for me the methods of Betty Edwards are just one more set of tools in drawing. Glenn Vilppu has a saying about drawing which I have taken to heart ever since i heard it; “In drawing, there are no rules, just tools.
for teaching one to draw what one sees
Thanks for the personal insight, Glenn.
I wasn’t aware of the avid “followers” and dogmatic aspect of those who take Edwards’ work so seriously. As I’ve pointed out, I think her techniques (most of which are not new, just codified a bit differently) are particularly useful in getting adults who think they can’t draw past the barriers to seeing what is in front of them, allowing them to draw what they see instead of drawing symbols for what they identify. Once that hurdle is passed, I usually suggest supplementing her book with a more traditional text on drawing, such as Mendelowitz or Goldstein.
I can also talk and draw, but I agree with her in principle in that I find it difficult, and I do think that drawing either produces or comes from a shift in thinking processes (whatever name you would like to assign to it) that de-emphasizes verbalization (pleasantly so).

There are several different types of iron from which to choose. The level of steam of an iron will generally dictate how long your ironing will take. A dry iron is the most basic model, giving simple clear operating functions. The following explains how steam irons, integrated with spray can make your ironing less of a chore:
A steam iron applies a small amount of steam to your garments whilst ironing, making it easier and quicker to remove creases than ironing with a dry iron.
Steam/Spray irons have the same functionality as steam irons, but with the added benefit of being able to spray a small amount of water on to the garment through a nozzle as the front of the iron. This is especially useful when clothes are very dry and the creases are more defined.
Steam/Spray/Shot irons have the same functionality as Steam/Spray irons, but with an added benefit of being able to trigger a shot of intense steam directly on to the fabric. This is excellent for thick fabrics when ironing could take longer. Also use vertically to remove creases from curtains and coats.
Whiz through your ironing using a steam generator, giving a constant flow of high pressure steam directly to your garments.
It is important to ensure that your iron is scale free as scale can diminish the steaming power of an iron. Some irons offer a built in filtration system to eliminate limescale. Alternatively, simply clean your iron with a descaling product.
There are four types of soleplate from which to choose:

TAMPA, Fla. (NBC News) – Summer season is upon us, which can become an expensive time for everyone involved.
According to a new study from Zelle, 84 percent say they prefer money as a wedding gift over a physical gift.
60 percent of men say they would rather give money as a wedding gift instead of selecting a gift from a registry, compared to just 42 percent of women.
The study also found 25 percent of millennials state they’ve spent $500 or more on attending weddings in the past year. And that doesn’t even include the gift.

Isherwood reported from what they hoped would become the centre of the conflict: 'Today Auden and I agreed that we would rather be in Hankow at this moment than anywhere else on earth.' So these soi-disant 'lunatic English explorers' observed a distant replay of the Spanish Civil War, which pitted fascist aggressors against a leftist alliance.

Another Hamilton War Poet BY: George Simmers AT: Great War Fiction URL: <http://greatwarfiction.wordpress.com/2010/01/11/another-hamilton-war-poet/> In his play Rope (1929) Patrick Hamilton presented a very distinctive war poet. ‘Enormously affected’ and ‘infinitely weary’, war has damaged him both in mind and body, and has destroyed his confidence in the usual values of society. Yet he is the one who realises that his two hosts are murderers, and stands up with them. Hamilton contrasts his hard-earned disillusion with the trivial hedonism of the two young killers. In the novel Mr Stimpson and Mr Gorse (1953) Hamilton creates a very different war poet, a wonderfully ludicrous one. We meet him in The Friar, the Reading pub... 11.

But discoveries made by scientists have revealed that the aerial assault was also accompanied by undersea submarine torpedo attacks – and one of them was at least partially successful in its mission. Beginning in 1993, two deep-diving submersibles operated by the Hawaii Undersea Research Laboratory (HURL), Pisces IV and Pisces V, embarked on a series of scientific and engineering dives in and around Pearl Harbor. They discovered what looked like a Type A Japanese mini-submarine, setting off a flurry of... 15.

The Secretary of State’s published policy was that, if legal proceedings were initiated, removal would not be treated as imminent even if it otherwise was. The Secretary of State also had an unpublished policy, namely that information that proceedings were about to be initiated would be disregarded, however credible that information might be.
Held: The Secretary of State could not rely on an aspect of an unpublished policy to render lawful that which was at odds with his published policy. Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers, MR said: ‘Thus the relevance of Article 5 is that the domestic law must not provide for, or permit, detention for reasons that are arbitrary. Our domestic law comprehends both the provisions of Schedule 2 to the Immigration Act 1971 and the Secretary of State’s published policy, which, under principles of public law, he is obliged to follow. These appeals raise the following questions: (1) What is the Secretary of State’s policy? (2) Is that policy lawful? (3) Is that policy accessible? (4) Having regard to the answers to the above questions, were N and A lawfully detained?’

Andres Iniesta is free to play in Barcelona’s Champions League semi-final first leg against Real Madrid after a proposed ban was overturned.UEFA officials had alleged the Spanish midfielder had deliberately collected a yellow card in Barca’s quarter-final first leg against Shakhtar Donetsk, which ruled him out of the return leg and also wiped clean his record for the crucial final stages.
The European body’s disciplinary committee had indicated they were prepared to suspend the 26-year-old for the first leg of Barca’s crucial last-four tie with Real as a result.
But Barca appealed to UEFA directly and were able to reverse the plan to ban Iniesta for their first leg match against their domestic rivals.
“Andres Iniesta will be able to play in the away match of the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid in the Santiago Bernabeu,” a Barcelona statement said.
“UEFA has dismissed a possible sanction against the midfielder after FC Barcelona appealed the European organisation’s proposal to sanction him for an extra game for the yellow card received during the match against Shakhtar on April 6.”
“With the decision, UEFA also ruled out any kind of financial penalty.”
Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho came under fire in the group stages for allegedly instructing Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos to pick up deliberate cautions for time-wasting, wiping clean their record for the knockout stages.
The Portuguese manager complained last week that Barca were afforded favouritism by the governing body, saying: “You have to find why Mourinho cannot clean yellow cards but other coaches can.”

The discussion of bathroom facilities had the predictable effect. A wave of giggles flowed through the crowd of 12- to 17-year-old girls. When an adult on stage held up a pair of white long johns, grins broke out, the giggles turned into snorts and row after row of lime green uniforms quivered in adolescent amusement.
Put more than 500 Girl Scouts in a room and that's how it's going to be.
The goal yesterday afternoon at St. Bartholomew's Church in Bethesda was to explain plans for inaugural weekend, when more than 700 local Girl Scouts and equal hordes of Boy Scouts will redirect lost visitors, wipe snow off parade seats and open doors at inaugural balls. But before the perspiring organizers could leave, they had to fight the giggles, the questions asked again and again, the misunderstandings and the teary-eyed young women wondering why they were assigned to the parade when they wanted so much to go to a ball.
The room got hotter, the girls tossed their hair and adjusted their sashes and, of course, there was the inevitable announcement from the back of the room: "I have a lost earring here."
"Four years ago we had a Supreme Court justice at the parade whose seat had a tree in it," said organizer Noel Brinton, pushing hair away from her forehead as ever-widening circles of girls and troop leaders surrounded her with just one more question, just one more problem.
"It takes a little bit of humor," she said, smiling wearily. "The inaugural committee may have misprinted tickets -- people from outside Washington don't usually understand that. They can humor them until the adults come."
Scouts will be posted in each parade stand, calming the distressed. They will even be stationed in front of the press stand.
"The Secret Service told us it's our responsibility to keep them from jumping over the barriers," said Brinton. "Our responsibility!"
A daunting prospect, but, as Brinton said, "The trees in the seats are the biggest problem."
Sixteen-year-old Mona Al-Saigh had already figured out how she'll handle the guests confronted with a tree.
"We can humor them," she said, "or tell them they can climb the tree."
Al-Saigh was scheduled to work at one of the balls, but, the Fairfax resident said, "My parents wouldn't let me. They didn't want me in Washington at night."
She will be joining her friends Julie Fuerth and Shaunti Reidinger, both 17, at the parade, where Al-Saigh said she was looking forward to "meeting people -- other than high school" students.
Fuerth seemed a little disappointed about her assignment.
"We're used to high school dances," she said, adding wistfully, "at a ball, you get to see high society people . . ."
Girl Scouts have worked at every presidential inaugural since President Hoover's, although until last time the presidential inaugural committees didn't station them at the balls.
"They basically thought this was too hard work for the girls," said Brinton. "Reagan got us into the balls. Until 1980, they felt that the demands of the jobs -- opening car doors -- wasn't feminine enough."
The girls standing around her groaned.
The talk was mostly of badges and berets and capes, painstaking descriptions of proper Girl Scout attire (official Girl Scout inaugural berets and capes, long underwear and gloves during the parade, no red tights, "ear muffs a must"). More than one admonition not to "chitchat" during official functions was thrown in.
One organizer did admit that some District girls objected to working at the inauguration for political reasons.
"I was very disappointed," said Hattie Dorman, D.C. coordinator for the event. "People's personal feelings have entered into the situation and I think they were only looking at one segment of the event, the segment being the man, rather than the larger picture. I think later, when they reflect on the experience, they'll want to remember they were part of the inauguration of the president of the United States, regardless of who it is."
Behind her, more pressing concerns were being discussed. A rumor was circulating that Cabbage Patch ear muffs were on sale and that some Scouts were intending to wear them to the parade. Two adults, leaning wearily on a table, straightened up, horrified.
"I'm sure they'll have more sense than that," one said.
The other rolled her eyes.

3 Reasons You Should Buy the Best Meat Grinder For Preparing Your Dog Food
Ever wondered what the dogs eat in the wild?
Obviously not Pedigree.
Or, the expensive dog foods you bought from the stores.
Most, of the vet doctors have insisted on giving your pet dog or cat a wholesome dish other than giving just the same food every day.
Even Poppins (my dog) avoid eating if given the same menu, though he is very moody.
The best nutritious food you can give your dog and he will eat it without coyness is anything made of meat.
It will be full of protein which will adequately give your dog the energy he will need all his day and a good health.
Here are the 3 reasons why you should buy the best meat grinder to make your dog food.
1.Give your dog a healthy diet:
We treat our dogs like our family. Their health is our primary concern. Often the deterioration of their health makes us frustrated and tensed. They are the source of our every happiness.
If you agree with me and nodding with each line then why you are giving them store-bought food?
I know that the manufacturers portray them as the most nutritious food for your pets but, it is what they must do. They are selling products and they need to make it look like, essential.
But trust me, nothing is better than homemade food. All of my vet friends have given me the advice that giving pets homemade food gives them longevity and good health.
And buying the best meat grinder that can grind small bones will be the first crucial step that you will take towards the good health of your pet.
While grinding meat along with small bones you ensure that your dog is getting the safest and best quality food which will not cause him any harm.
The calcium and cartilage you will give to your dog will make their bones stronger. Ground meats are also suitable for small dogs, puppies and old dogs that may have dental problems.
Ground meats are also uniform which makes mixing, serving and storing easy.
It is now proved that processed foods are bad for health as they are carcinogenic. So naturally if you are still using store bought processed foods or meats then you need to throw it in the dustbin immediately.
But that doesn’t mean you cannot eat your favorite, salami, hams, or sausages. No need of buying ground preserved meat from the store to make your favorite dishes.
Instead, buy the best meat grinder which will give you efficient and faster meat grinding experience. Both your time and health will be saved.
So, it will be like a two-in-one deal. The grinder can be both used for grinding you pet food and also your family’s food.
If your family is in hunting activity and has a huge number of pets to feed then buying a commercial series meat grinder is essential for you.
With sausage stuffing tubes you can make sausages for your breakfast and for your dog. Serve both your kids and pets with delicious dishes every day.
Buying an electric meat grinder which can grind bone will be a very cost effective deal for you.
All the packaged foods available in the market for the pets are very expensive as they are made with special care. In case you have more than 3 pets then you have to pay a huge sum every month for the pet food.
But if you buy the best meat grinder then you can make homemade foods for your dog at a faster pace. A large amount of meat along with the bones can be grind easily and efficiently.
Needless to say, the grinder will also help you to grind your meat for your family. So, overall it is going to be a cost-effective deal that you can hardly neglect.
Every nagging off the tail, every jump towards us, and every bark are precious. They can be sometimes very stubborn while it comes to feeding.
So choose something, which they will eat with relish and at the same time, will give them enough nutrients.
Using the Top meat grinder will not only make your pet food faster but also safe and secure.

Grandma Georgia's Chicken and Dumplings Crock Pot Recipe
I took my Grandma Georgia's famous Chicken and Dumplings recipe and made it in the slow cooker! It worked beautifully! This recipe has rich dark meat, lots of tender carrots, big ol' dumplings, and tons of gravy to pour on top. Heaven!
Add chicken, water, and chicken base to a large crock pot.
Peel and chop the carrots. I like a LOT of carrots, so just take a look and see how many looks good to you. Remember they will shrink when they cook. I cut mine into pretty big 3-4 inch chunks.
Coarsely chop the celery, and chop the onion. Add all the vegetables to the crock pot.
Add the bay leaves, poultry seasoning, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons parsley, sage, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
Stir together, then cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for about 7 hours. Don't go too much longer than this or your chicken will start to lose flavor.
Make the dumplings:
In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups flour, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt, baking powder, 2 teaspoons parsley, 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
Use a fork or pastry cutter to cut the butter and shortening into the dry ingredients. Leave pea-size chunks of butter.
Use a spatula to stir in the buttermilk until just moistened. Don't over mix!
Turn the crock pot to high. Working quickly, remove the lid and remove 2 cups of cooking liquid (set aside). Arrange the chicken on top of the vegetables.
Use a spoon or your hands to scoop up a golf ball size piece of batter. Drop the dumpling on top of the chicken. Try not to dump it straight into the liquid (I know, kind of impossible, but do your best.) Continue until the batter is all in the crock pot.
Immediately cover with the lid. Set a timer for 25 minutes.
Make the gravy:
Separate the fat from the 2 cups of cooking liquid you took from the crock pot, and discard the fat. (I like to use a fat separator.)
Add the cooking liquid to a small pot and turn to high.
Meanwhile, add 3/4 cup COLD water (OR cold chicken broth) to a small bowl or glass measuring cup. Whisk in 1/3 cup flour until no lumps remain.
When the cooking liquid has come to a boil, gradually whisk in the flour mixture. Add the teaspoon of chicken base. Lower the heat to medium and continue stirring until the gravy thickens, about 5-10 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper.
When the dumplings have cooked for about 25 minutes, check the center of one with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, then the dumplings are done.
Spoon the dumplings onto a serving platter. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken and vegetables to the serving platter.
Serve with the gravy to pass at the table.
Save the remaining chicken broth to make soup or anything else that calls for chicken broth!
*The water and Better Than Bouillon Chicken Base can be replaced with 4 cups high quality chicken stock.**You can use all butter or all shortening if you want! Or any ratio. You need 6 tablespoons total fat. ***Cheat buttermilk: add 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar to a glass measuring cup. Fill it to the 1 and 1/2 cup mark with milk, the higher fat content the better. Stir and let sit 5 minutes, then use like regular buttermilk.

Leading opposition politician Imran Khan has promised to create a “new Pakistan” ahead of general elections this summer.
What are the former cricketer’s prospects – and who are the “electables” he hopes will help him?
What’s Imran Khan promising?
Mr Khan addressed a rally of tens of thousands of supporters in the eastern city of Lahore, where he launched his party’s campaign.
No date for the vote has been announced but it is expected to take place in July or August.
Mr Khan told the crowd he would create a Pakistan where all citizens were held accountable irrespective of their backgrounds.
He also said he wanted to improve access to education and healthcare, as well as promote tax collection and reduce corruption.
What are his chances?
His PTI party currently has 32 parliamentary seats, compared with the 186 of the ruling PML-N party.
Recent opinion polls also suggest the PTI is less popular than the PML-N, although the margin has narrowed since the last election in 2013.
“Opinion polls can be extremely misleading,” Mr Khan told the BBC in an interview.
How big an issue is corruption?
Mr Khan has made fighting corruption his party’s central pitch.
“The way Pakistan is headed, the whole issue about corruption, the issue about governance… I believe that the election campaign will swing the big undecided vote towards the PTI,” he told the BBC.
The former prime minister and head of the PML-N, Nawaz Sharif, is currently on trial in an anti-corruption court.
A verdict is expected in the coming weeks, which could see him sent to jail.
He was disqualified from office last year following an inquiry into his family’s finances – which Imran Khan campaigned for.
However, Mr Sharif remains a popular figure and has held a number of large rallies since his disqualification.
What does Imran Khan say about the military?
Supporters of Mr Sharif claim Pakistan’s military establishment secretly pushed for his removal as they disagreed over key issues such as the country’s relationship with India. Both the Pakistani army and Imran Khan deny that.
Mr Khan alleged that the PML-N were themselves sponsored by the military in the 1990s.
He added: “The current military chief, Gen Bajwa, is probably the most pro-democratic man we have ever seen.”
The military has directly ruled Pakistan for nearly half its existence, and it has exerted a strong influence throughout much of the rest of the country’s lifespan.
Politics in the country are often seen through the lens of civil-military relations – but Mr Khan told the BBC he had “no concern” about the military’s role in Pakistani society.
Where does Mr Khan stand on extremism?
Mr Khan has faced accusations of being soft on Islamist extremism, at one stage earning the nickname “Taliban Khan”.
He strongly rejects the claims and says he has merely advocated peace talks with insurgent groups as a way of resolving conflict within Pakistan.
When asked by the BBC whether Pakistan would be more or less “liberal” were he to be elected prime minister, he dismissed the question.
“Pakistan’s issue is nothing to do with liberalism or fundamentalism. Pakistan has an issue of governance,” he said.
“We have 25 million children out of school, we have the highest child mortality rate in the world. This is the West looking upon Pakistan as a liberalism and fundamentalism issue.
“It is not an issue. Every human society has its extremists and its liberals.”
On international affairs Mr Khan, like other Pakistani politicians, has denied US allegations that the country is providing “safe havens” for the Afghan Taliban and its allies.
At the Lahore rally, a senior politician from Mr Khan’s party led a chant proclaiming, “anyone who is a friend of the US is a traitor”.
Mr Khan told the BBC: “The US has had the worst Afghan policy. For 16 years they’ve been trying to use a military solution and they failed.
“Where are the safe havens? They should point them out – 70,000 Pakistanis have died fighting the US war.”
So who are the ‘electables’?
“Electables” are politicians with their own personal vote banks, who are not tied ideologically to a political party.
Analysts say it is not clear what the impact would be on levels of support for the PML-N, if Mr Sharif were convicted in his ongoing anti-corruption trial.
Some believe it could boost support for him as a “martyr”. Others say it could lead to defections of so-called “electables” to Mr Khan’s PTI.
“There are some electables who have a good track record,” Mr Khan said. “Especially in rural areas you have to have someone who has a network to win the election.” Mr Khan said he would not allow “electables” with tarnished political records to join the party.
Senior Pakistani journalist Iftikhar Ahmad, from the Daily Jang newspaper, said he believed there were around 60 such candidates in constituencies in Punjab alone who might switch allegiance to the PTI if they deemed it in their interest.
Where will the vote be decided?
The key battleground between Mr Khan and the PML-N will be the province of Punjab, which holds more than half of the 272 directly-elected seats in the Pakistani parliament.
Lahore, where Mr Khan launched his election campaign on Sunday, is the capital of Punjab.

Soft Story Retrofitting Reseda
On January 17, 1994, the Northridge Earthquake struck Reseda. While commonly referred to as the Los Angeles earthquake, the epicenter was actually in this smaller suburb. What made the 1994 earthquake all the more tragic is that the area had been hit by another strong earthquake, in 1971. To this day, the Northridge Earthquake is the only earthquake to originate directly under a city in modern times. The result was as expected. Over 60 people died and over 9000 were injured. Bridges and overpasses were affected. Sewage and drainage were affected. The result was a final, sober wake up call that Reseda and all of the Los Angeles area needed to change its building codes to prevent such wide spread damage from happening again. The result for new buildings was simple. But for older buildings, it took some time. It’s important to find an experienced Reseda retrofit company to help make older buildings safe for the future.
What is a Soft Story Building?
After the 1994 Northridge Earthquake, city officials wanted to ensure that the widespread destruction wouldn’t happen again. As a result, building codes were changed so that all new builds were better able to withstand the extreme force of a major earthquake. As for existing buildings, while it was agreed that these too should be built better, how that was to happen took a lot longer.
But now, with the soft story retrofit program, all of Reseda will be a safe place in the event of an earthquake. Soft story buildings were quickly identified as being very vulnerable to earthquakes. These buildings have at least three stories to them. They also have large open ground floors that house commercial shops or restaurants. The open spaces will have doors and windows. There are also usually parking garaged that, again, have large open spaces.
Too much space, and there may not be enough support for upper levels of a building. The soft story retrofit program wants to make it so that these buildings can stay erect but be safe at the same time.
Possible solutions include the increase use of shear walls. These walls are built to withstand movement from high winds or earthquake shocks. Reinforced shear walls will better help with stronger earthquakes. Parking garages may need more steal beams or concrete pillars to make sturdier spaces.
Don’t worry if this all seems confusing. A trusted Reseda retrofit contractor will help you understand the construction details, without giving you too many technical terms. Your path to a safer home is easy to follow.
Reasons for Retrofit
The most obvious reason for a building retrofit is to make it safer in the future. While it’s impossible to predict when the next earthquake will happen, all are agreed that another major one is bound to happen soon. So, as a building owner, it’s important to take the next steps to ensure that you provide somewhere safe for the people that live there.
Those living in Reseda will have received notices if their building meets the criteria for the mandatory soft story retrofit program. The first step after receiving a notice is to contact a qualified soft story retrofit contractor in Reseda. Choose someone who knows the area, has a proven track record, and who cares about quality construction.
Retrofitting 360 can help you through the entire process. From the beginning, initial survey that will give you a detailed outline of what to expect for construction, to the retrofit itself, and final the end, we can help you get back to living a safe life.
Construction is never fun for those having to endure it while trying to live their lives. We will ensure that noise is at a minimum, parking isn’t disrupted, and that the job will get done quickly but safely. All permits will be acquired so that work doesn’t have to stop. There’s nothing worse than having a project forced to stop in the middle, thus delaying everything.
Once the retrofit project has been completed, a city official will need to sign off it to make sure the building now adheres to the updated city codes. It’s important that this is signed off right away so that you don’t have to worry about the retrofit project anymore. We are here to make your life safer and easier.


In one fell swoop, Apple has put an end to the “speculating.”
Stating that their “holiday line-up is set,” Bill Evans, an Apple spokesman, has put to bed the rumors that were circulating Apple news sites stating an update to the iMac and Mac mini was coming. The source, a comment made by David Sellers, believing that Apple would refresh the aforementioned models to bring them in line with the recently updated MacBook/MacBook Pro as early as next week, was relayed across the Apple blogosphere with much vigor. However, in speaking with Sellers, we were able to confirm that it was pure speculation on his part.
While there is no doubt in our minds that a refresh would have been welcomed, that is obviously not going to be case. So, if you were hoping to get an NVIDIA-powered Mac mini or a DisplayPort toting iMac before Christmas, best not hold your breath, but chin up, there’s always Macworld.


Backpacks and bags
Solar-powered backpacks are very useful for day trips and major outdoor activities. The integrated solar-powered charging stations enable you to charge mobile phones, GPS devices and mp3 players without using mains electricity.
Shoulder bags and handbags with integrated solar panel are more than a fashion gimmick. In addition to being a practical charging station for mobile phones and iPods, these bags are a personal statement for more sustainability and for the responsible use of energy resources through everyday use of solar energy.


Without the help of historic preservation funds, David Fishering said he would otherwise see the old Potato Growers building collapse within the next five years, or would need to seek help from outside investors.
Fishering, the co-owner (alongside his father Greg) of Storm King Distillery, 41 W Main St, and the Potato Growers site just east of the distillery, estimated it would cost some $2 million to fix the old building without any historic preservation capital.
But once tax credits and grants are included, the price to renovate would be more reasonable, Fishering said.
“Anything that we can do to offset the cost to us directly means we can put more work into it without getting any other investors involved,” he said.
According to the History Colorado website, the amount of credit that can be earned is calculated as a percentage of the overall rehabilitation costs associated with the project-
• A 20 percent federal tax credit for the rehabilitation of certified historic buildings used for income-producing purposes
• A 20 percent state tax credit for the rehabilitation of historic, owner-occupied residences
• A 20-30 percent state tax credit for the rehabilitation of historic buildings used for income-producing purposes.
The Fisherings plan to renovate the Potato Growers building and split it into a restaurant and mixed-use retail store, as previously reported.
Funds for such historic preservation projects became possible thanks to an ordinance passed by the City of Montrose last year. The measure allows owners of older downtown structures — if they so choose — to pursue historic designation on their property.
The ordinance says once a building gets the designation, it keeps it permanently. A structure can receive the historic designation if it’s more than 50 years old.
City of Montrose director of business innovation Chelsea Rosty said the measure creates the right balance between private property rights and public interest to preserve historical assets.
“It’s (historic preservation designation) intended to renovate and update these really old buildings to save them,” Rosty said. “Then, they won’t be so dilapidated or blighted that they’re not usable anymore.”
“The goal is when people look at our downtown, they see Montrose — they won’t see a cookie cutter street that could be anywhere,” she said.
And it’s not having the same plain-Jane street, but the designation helps retain history “which ties us together,” Rosty said.
“These buildings carry with them the stories of our ancestors,” she said. “... There are downtown buildings where the forefathers of Montrose met. It’s important to preserve those stories through the buildings.”
Downtown Development Authority Manager Melissa Lowe agreed, saying the downtown properties “are a glimpse into history” and something that such continued to be passed to future generations.
“I think it’s a testament to all of the mason work back in the day,” she said.
The distinction doesn’t just help continue to pass on history but serves as an economic benefit for owners, Rosty said. When a building receives the designation, its owners have access to federal and state grant money in order to preserve and update properties, she added.
“With the state and federal tax credits, the owner just has to show proof of the work being done,” she said.
Building owners could send unused financial capital to brokers, which in turn, could sell the remaining funds on the market, Rosty said.
“You would have cash, instead of a tax credit,” she said, adding doing would mean returns come back $.85 on the dollar. “... You’re not able to get the full amount but it’s a good amount. You’ll get the cash in pocket.”
Rosty said the Fisherings are currently working on setting up a potential state preservation bid while the owners of the Vine have obtained one.
The city’s historic preservation ordinance also allows the city to seek Certified Local Government status or CLG.
The program creates partnerships with local and state governments as well as national preservation organizations. The CLG permits the city to have a say in what structures are deemed historically important.
A historic preservation commission, appointed by the Montrose City Council, was established to oversee the implementation of the ordinance.
Montrose’s Ian Atha, John Eloe, Jon Horn, Amanda Lloyd, Michael Prouty, Robert Stollsteimer and Scott Stryker fill out the committee. They were all appointed to three-year terms in October.
At least 60 percent of its members are residents of the city, and at least 40 percent have expertise in a preservation-related pursues that include history, architecture, landscape architecture, American studies and civilization.
Rosty said the committee is beginning the process of formulating the historic preservation application so building owners can get registered locally.
Additionally, the commission is currently creating lists of historic sites, properties and areas that have local importance, Rosty said. It’ll also decide the condition of buildings, structures, objects, sites and districts proposed for designation.
City workers are doing their part in helping expedite the designation.
Rosty said the staff has gone to historic preservation conferences to discover the most updated incentives available through the State of Colorado and the federal government. That way, owners have a better chance to find what tax credits are available for them, she added.
Fishering said if the Potato Growers building gets the historical designation, it would also nab other potential incentives through the City of Montrose or Region 10.
With those funds, he hopes to make sure residents will still see the same old Potato Growers structure for many years to come.
“It’ll help us keep the facade close to its original (look) as possible,” he said.

For the second consecutive year, Matt DiBenedetto changed teams in the NASCAR Cup Series. Where will he end up driving in the 2021 campaign?
The 28-y-o had a ride lined up to race for ‘Go Fas Racing’ behind the wheel of the #32 Ford in the 2019 NASCAR Cup Series campaign after driving for the team in both the 2017 and 2018 campaigns.
However he took a gamble on himself, and he gave up that ride to find a more competitive option.

Securing financial stability is this competitive world is a very complex task. People are always looking for an alternative source of income. Even after doing the hard work, they are not able to support their families. To make your life better, you need steady cash flow. But securing a steady cash flow in the global economic crisis moment is a tough task. But those who have the knowledge to trade Forex can easily live their life in the United Kingdom. So, never think you can’t become a successful Forex trader.
We all know that 2-3% of retail traders are successful in the Forex market. So, if you want to pursue your career in the trading industry, you must think from a different perspective. In this article, we are going to give you some amazing guidelines that can secure your life based on the trading business.
The first thing that you should do is familiarize yourself with this industry. In the investment business, discipline is the most important asset. New traders are always trading with high risk and trying to earn more money to support their families. But the aggression hidden inside their mind forces them to trade with high risk. Unless you familiarize yourself with the dynamic nature of the price movement, it will be hard to execute the orders with precision.
Develop your knowledge
Without working hard you can’t gain knowledge about this market. New traders in the Forex trading industry are losing money because they don’t have the precise knowledge needed to execute the orders. Click here to contact the professionals of Saxo and they can enlighten you about this business. In fact, you can learn for free by using the Saxo Academy.
To protect your trading capital, you must focus on the three types of market analysis. Technical analysis is easy to learn but the fundamental factors often become a headache. You don’t have to dig into the deep to make a profit by trading the major news. Just learn about its impact and stay in the sidelines when the high impact news is being released.
Trade with discipline
To secure your life, you must trade with discipline. Almost every trader has a unique trading strategy and they follow the basic guidelines of the investment business. But after losing a few trades, they become emotional and start breaking the rules. Once you start breaking the rules, things become very hard. You won’t be able to recover the loss if you keep on breaking the rules. Try to develop your skills and become a disciplined trader, so that you can execute the orders without confusion. If you lose a trade, embrace it. Stop getting upset with the results. Emotional attachment can make you a weak trader.
Save some money
Before you start living your life, you must save some money. Without saving money, you can’t expect to make a consistent profit. Traders are losing money because they are always under pressure. Unless you are ready to push yourself to the edge, you should never try to trade this market as a fulltime trader. During your learning stage, try to save some money so that you can support your family while facing some losing months. Never trade with any amount which you can’t afford to lose.
Keep on going
You should never stop learning new things. Professional traders keep on going regardless of the rules of any trade. Things might be hard at the initial stage, but this is the only way you can secure a decent lifestyle through trading. Being a fulltime trader, try to find a well-regulated broker so that you don’t have to lose a big sum of money. Trading the market with an unregulated broker is another key reason why retail traders are losing money most of the time. So, take your time and try to improve your skills. Be prepared to accept unexpected events. Once you learn to follow these guidelines you can easily support your family members through the trading business.
