There is a common theme throughout Brenda’s lessons – drawing doesn’t have to be an expensive hobby. I guess the expense of art supplies is what turns a lot of people off.

In this lesson Brenda describes making your own portfolio – or folder – to safely store paper and drawings. She uses inexpensive cardboard, duct tape and string for handles.

She stresses the importance of using acid-free cardboard, to avoid damage to your masterpieces. “Drawings can be ruined when papers and boards with acid, deteriorate and turn yellow.”

A nice, easy lesson!
