Imagine if you were taught to ride a bike sitting backwards, or without using the pedals; or worse, you didn’t know what the handlebars were for. You wouldn’t get very far. It’s the same with drawing and painting. Yet there are apparently no rules – you hear it all the time: “Let it all hang out! Be spontaneous! Express yourself!” That doesn’t help very much when you face a blank canvas.

But what if there were a way to learn how to draw and paint without years of fumbling about, without decades of trial and error? Just like using the pedals, there are basic principles to drawing and painting. Only they’re not so obvious, which is why they are so often overlooked. Here we have the foundations of talent. This is what we’re talking about when we say talent can be learned – because it derives from knowing and being able to use bedrock principles.

The Gluck Method consists of information, demonstrations, exercises and goal-oriented assignments – all arranged to build artistic talent from the ground up. It is the world’s only complete system of instruction which teaches the full scope of underlying principles of drawing and painting. The Method transforms someone without “natural talent” into someone who has the talent to create beautiful works of art.

"The Gluck Method is not about rules, but imparting the precise principles that underlie all drawing and painting. The goal is not to stifle originality, but to provide the best possible framework to help it to grow."
