THE ADMIRAL COWDISLEY EDUCATION GROUP This is a free site for students who want to learn 'how to look' and teachers who require practical drawing and painting lesson notes. Cowdisley Lessons are currently being used by over 550 US and international schools, colleges, universities and ateliers by teachers for their classroom lesson plans. We aim for a world of greatly improved visual 'literacy' and begin here with the basics. Here are direct links to the popular Educators Network and Site For Teachers who also list our lesson plans. We also provide free classical painting lessons.
