Edwards believes the key to learning to draw is teaching oneself to see with the unconscious mind. In drawing a picture that is upside down you must rely on what is unseen as much as what is seen-making a conscious mental shift from using your logic (left side of the brain) to using your Muse (intuitive, subjective self/right side of the brain). Her lessons attempt to train the individual to unleash the power of the subconscious brain.
