Plothole that's bugging me as I replay the Myst games

I've given a lot of thought to Myst over the years, including some of the classic conundrums like:
• How did Atrus build all of those structures in the Ages of Myst and Exile?
• How did Sirrus build all of those structures in Spire?
• What are we to make of the Red and Blue Books from Myst in light of the Revelation game?
While I think there have been plausible explanations put forth resolving all of those things, the one thing I still don't understand is how Atrus and Catherine were both able to become skilled in The Art when it was Gehn who taught it to them in the first place - the man whose Ages are all unstable because of his poor understanding of The Art. Maybe this is explained in one of the Myst novels, but I've never read them.
