And if she can’t yet draw, then please get her to invest in:

• “Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, the 4th Definitive Edition”, by Betty Edwards
• all the tools recommended in that book
• a charcoals assortment ( I’ve no idea why Betty Edwards doesn’t understand how much easier it makes it to learn?! )
• “The Simple Secret To Better Painting”
• “Mastering Composition”

and then dig-in.

The 1st book many know-about.

The 2nd, much-fewer do, so the advantage that someone has, when they’ve earned the meanings of both, becomes noticeable…

The 3rd? That’s University-level better.

Nobody who’s earned the meanings of all-3 is likely to remain at the bottom-of-the-heap in artwork…

The 1st 2 books, however, are required for competing well.
