"The ABC of Art Skills"

"There are days when you feel you can't draw or paint..."

Are you looking for an ABC of Art Skills that guarantee you learn the right way to learn?


A review by Michael Dale...

Today, I was sat doodling on a scrap piece of paper. It was nothing serious… just creating a series of shapes with an ordinary pencil. Slowly, the face a small dog began to appear, with a button nose and sleepy eyes.

Suddenly, the guy sitting opposite said… “I could never do that!”

He took me by surprise. At first I didn’t understand what he meant. I didn’t realize that he meant that he couldn’t develop lines, arcs and shading into a recognizable drawing.

What surprised me even more… 10 minutes earlier this man was talking about reading musical notes and building pictures with sound. This is something I couldn’t imagine being able to do.

The truth is that we agreed that, although our talents were very different, we could learn other skills…

Yesterday I was lucky to find a lady who can help somebody quickly develop drawing skills, even if you think you can’t draw...

Here are 3 regularly asked questions…
  1. Do you have great ideas but cannot express them visually to your own satisfaction?
  2. Do you have difficulty transferring the image you see in your mind's eye onto the page in front of you?
  3. Do you often sit staring at a blank page wondering where to start?
Do you recognize yourself in these 3 questions? Well, you’ll see these questions asked again. And there’ll be more questions you want answered…
  • Would you like to learn from someone who is comfortable teaching art at university level and to schoolchildren?
  • Do you want to learn visualizing techniques so you know where to place your pen to begin the drawing process?
  • Do you want to like to learn the right set of drawing skills from the start?
When you ask yourself these questions do you hear yourself answering any of the 4 following answers…?
  1. "I wish I could draw. I just don't know where to start."
  2. "Trying to put my ideas on paper takes me so long to do."
  3. "I want my paintings to look professional but my drawings skills lack confidence and I know this is the basis of a good painting."
  4. "I can't draw. I've always wanted to but I wasn't taught how at high school even though I took Art as a subject."
Jenny Gibsons “The ABC of Art Skills” is remarkable…

Jenny has all the Art teaching qualifications you need. What is more… she has the ability to help you understand just how easy it is to get to grips with drawing.

“The ABC of Art Skills”  gives you 6 secrets that make your drawing easier to do and get you started faster...
Sorry, I am not going to give Jenny’s hard won secrets away. What you need to know is that the following promise is delivered...

"The exercises in this system are simple enough for primary school age students yet valuable enough for university students and adults… Even if you cannot draw a stick man you will find your skills improved dramatically once you have completed the step-by-step exercises"

To get you started…

Here are some of the drawing skills you are shown…
  • Foreshortening
  • Perspective
  • Detail
  • Vanishing points
With “The ABC of Art Skills” (Book 1) you get to learn about…
  • Confidence
  • Patience
  • Focus
  • Observation and Detail
  • Assembly
  • Releasing the Artist within
These are vital ingredients that will help you convince yourself that you can become an artist, illustrator or designer. Jenny gives you other insights that will add to your artistic beliefs… you will get to understand…
  • The power of the line
  • Crosshatching
  • How squinting will help you see better
  • Other observation exercises
  • Putting it all together
You will be surprised that the drawing exercises are so easy to do…
You’ll be amazed at how quickly the exercises build strength and character to your drawings. You will soon wonder why you hadn’t thought of for yourself...

By the time you reach page 14 you will be using your hatching skills to add depth, form and structure to simple shapes…
  • A circle will look like a round ball
  • A simple box shape will suddenly look as if it is ready to be opened and you can put the ball inside
By the time you reach page 20 you’ll see how lines and squiggles build a brick wall…

From page 22 you will be putting your new found drawing skills together to create a finished drawing that you can paint…

And this is just the beginning. Jenny then gives you drawing strategies that remove your inner resistance to learning good drawing practice. This is where you learn to draw what you need to draw and leave out what isn’t necessary…
  • You don’t have to draw each and every hair to create the impression of a man’s beard
  • You don’t need to draw every rock that builds a mountain
“The ABC of Art Skills” makes learning to draw easier when you are shown how to draw a picture of a clown...

What Jenny does here is show you what line to draw first. She then numbers the following lines so that you can draw each line in sequence. This way she shows you how to break down complex drawings into their components… simple lines, circles, arcs and curves.

Learning to draw cannot be made simpler than this…

All you have to do is copy the drawing principle. Keep this in your mind when you draw and your ambition to become an artist is 100 times easier.

What might surprise you about this book is that Jenny recommends pens for the exercises (including a biro or fountain pen). What about that beautiful box of pencils?

Remember, “The ABC of Art Skills” is giving you vital basic drawing skills...

Once you have mastered these drawing skills you can use whatever drawing tools you choose. The drawing equipment might change…

With practice your experienced drawing skills will last forever

Here’s some of what you will get from “The ABC of Art Skills” (Book 2) which is offered as a FREE Gift…
  • Single-point perspectives
  • Two-point perspectives
  • Aerial perspectives
But you could think that this was high end stuff. Jenny’s writing shows you that it isn’t as hard as you think… Why? Because she knows how to hard it is to learn to draw and has created the ABC system from many years of teaching…
  • You get to understand linear perspectives
  • You learn how to construct a perspective grid
  • You try out techniques that master artists use
  • You enter into the wonderful world of 3D Drawing
  • You are shown how to use perspectives to create a Fantasy Castle
  • You learn about Aerial Perspectives
This stuff is worth every penny you spend (I couldn‘t do it much better myself)

You also get to create your own Color-Wheel & Color Spectrum (This helps you understand where 3- Colors Is All You Need comes from).

And, Jenny gives you access to "The Photographic Resource Kit" which contains a wealth of specially commissioned reference photographs selected so you can begin with professional tools straight away.
